Researchers are shining a light on cancer cells' energy centers—literally—to damage these power sources and trigger ...

Researchers have developed a light-induced gene therapy that targets the mitochondria of cancer cells, triggering cell death.

Axons in brain cells resemble a string of pearls rather than smooth tubes, according to Johns Hopkins researchers. This discovery, aided by advanced imaging and modeling, reveals how physical and ...

Cytoskeleton rearrangements promote formation of a giant structure called a GUVac that stops cells from dying when they become detached from the extracellular matrix.

Leibniz-Forschungsinstitut für Molekulare Pharmakologie (FMP) in Berlin, the University of Kiel, and the Leibniz Institute of ...

Mitochondria play a crucial role as the powerhouses of cells, generating the energy necessary for cellular functions. For ...

Mitochondria, the cell’s energy centers, play a vital role in regulating cellular processes, including growth and survival.

Animal imaging studies also confirmed the effects of the gene therapy were limited to cancer tissue and were undetectable in normal tissue.

"But having both a bilayer-forming lipid, which provides the basic structure for the cell membrane ... they continued to function surprisingly well." Arriving at this minimal lipid combination ...
