Textbooks will tell you that in dividing cells, the production of new DNA peaks during the S-phase, while production of other macromolecules, such as proteins, lipids, and polysaccharides, continues ...

This milestone in cell biology -- akin to discovering 'design principles' of the cell -- unlocks the potential to find new treatments for diseases where cells malfunction. Working with hundreds of ...

We can think of cells as the building blocks of living things. Every organ in your body, from your brain to your gut to your skin, is made up of highly specialized cells. But most cells don’t just ...

Pregnant women rely on a balanced diet and supplements to deliver proper nutrients to their babies, to ensure they grow healthfully. Such nutrients contribute to fueling development and providing ...

FLVCR proteins (green, blue) sitting in the cellular membrane (purple). These proteins transport the cellular building blocks ethanolamine and choline across the membrane. It is known that ...

Despite rapid advances in basic neuroscience, a significant gap remains between fundamental cellular discoveries and their translation into effective ...

How many cells make up your body? It’s actually not all that easy to answer. But recently, scientists have made a pretty good effort. And their final count is…around 37.2 trillion. Taken together, you ...

Metabolism does more than fuel embryos—it sets their developmental rhythm. EMBL researchers found that a sugar molecule, FBP, controls the pace of spine formation, suggesting metabolism may act as a ...
