A study on worms led by researchers from Vanderbilt University School of Medicine in the US has uncovered a previously unknown adaptation to aging that actively remodels one of the largest and most ...

Yeast, worms, and mice remodel their endoplasmic reticulum early in the aging process. The protective shift offers potential targets to extend healthy lifespan.

Janelia researchers have uncovered a novel way that two of the structures inside cells-the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and lysosomes-coordinate the production of proteins, highlighting how interactions ...

The body's cells change their shape to close gaps such as wounds – with part of the cell flexing depending on the curve of the gap and the organization of cell-internal structures, a new study reveals ...

Improvements in public health have allowed humankind to survive to older ages than ever before, but, for many people, these added golden years are not spent in good health. Aging is a natural part of ...

A team of scientists has answered a long-standing question in cell biology, uncovering how the cell's main energy currency, ATP, is transported into the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Disrupted energy ...

Ageing may not simply be the result of damage piling up over time. Scientists studying microscopic worms have discovered a striking structural change inside cells that could play a central role in how ...
