Researchers identified TBC1D9B as the off switch for ARL8B, a key regulator of lysosome positioning. This mechanism controls how cells adapt to nutrient stress and maintain metabolic balance.

Scientists have attempted to map the human cell since the first microscope was invented more than 400 years ago. But many components of the cell still remain uncharted. "We know each of the proteins ...

How much of our genome really matters? Some argue that because most of our DNA is active, it must be doing something important. Others say even random DNA would be highly active. This has now been put ...

Researchers have developed a human intestinal cell model that closely mimics the structure and function of the human gut, enabling more precise prediction of drug-induced gastrointestinal toxicity ...

Sickle cell disease is often thought of solely as a blood disorder, but new research from the Wood Neuro Research Group provides measurable evidence that it can reshape how brain networks function.

Researchers recently developed a bone marrow model to study how the body generates cells. Interestingly, this model is the first of its kind to be developed entirely from human cells. Not only can ...

As described in research published today in Cell, the new model can be used to study the origin and function of the human amnion and help identify previously unknown ways the amniotic sac might ...

Vitamin B2 is an essential nutrient that the human body cannot make on its own. Because of this, people must obtain it from the foods they eat. This vitamin, also called riboflavin, is commonly found ...

A research team has announced a breakthrough in reversing the aging process in human cells grown in a lab, potentially paving ...
