Research conducted at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) has shed light on how cells in the body manage and store fat, potentially offering new insights into human health.
A research team at the Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati, led by Prof. G. Krishnamoorthy, from the Department of Chemistry, have developed a highly responsive fluorescent sensor that can detect cyanide in water and human cells using only a UV light source.
Scientists have successfully engineered the most complicated human cell lines ever, indicating that our genomes are more tolerant to significant structural alterations than previously assumed.
Bioengineers have developed a new construction kit for building custom sense-and-respond circuits in human cells. The research could revolutionize therapies for complex conditions like autoimmune disease and cancer.
Pancreatic cells, like human cells, have a limit to how much stress they can handle before they start to break down. Through overstimulation of these cells, certain stresses like inflammation and hyperglycemia lead to the onset of type 2 diabetes.
Researchers at the University of So Paulo (USP) in Brazil, in collaboration with colleagues in Australia, discovered a unique bacterial protein that can maintain human cells healthy even when the cells are heavily contaminated with bacteria.
The first 3D human cell culture models of Alzheimer's disease (AD) that exhibit the two main symptoms of the disease—the formation of amyloid beta deposits followed by tau tangles—were created previously. Researchers are now using their model to examine whether the exercise-induced muscle ho
searchers who previously developed the first 3D human cell culture models of Alzheimer's disease (AD) that exhibit two major hallmarks of the condition—the generation of amyloid beta deposits followed by tau tangles—have now used their model to investigate whether the exercise-induced muscle
Fat metabolism in our bodies is critical for energy generation. A team of researchers from the University of Basel in Switzerland uncovered a molecular switch that controls lipid metabolism in human cells. This switch regulates lipid storage or conversion into energy.
Protein aggregates build up with age and have been linked to neurological illnesses such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and Huntington's disease. A recent work from the Gothenburg University Nystrom lab, in conjunction with the Max Planck Institute for Biology of Ageing in Germany, offers a no
Researchers have discovered a novel type of molecular sensor that allows the malaria parasite to infect human cells or mosquitos at precisely the right time. The study was published in Journal,' Science Advances.'
A human cell contains around 2 metres of DNA, which contains an individual's important genetic information. If all the DNA contained within a single person were unwound and stretched out, it would cover an astonishing distance - enough to reach the sun and back 60 times over. The cell compac
