In many cells of the human body, hair-like protrusions known as cilia act as antennae, allowing cells to receive signals from ...

While iron and calcium are the metals that get the most attention, zinc is also important for human health and function.

Metabolism guides the activation states of regulatory T cells, the immune cells that prevent inappropriate activation of the ...

Scientists at UCSF identified a key cellular switch that plays a large role in pulmonary fibrosis, and found a way of blocking it to halt progression of the disease.

Emerging evidence points to energy breakdowns inside brain cells as the root of mental illness. This discovery challenges decades of chemical theories and may lead to therapies that restore cellular ...

Patients with weak heart function who receive stem cell therapy shortly after a heart attack are at lower risk of developing heart failure and related hospital stays compared with standard care, finds ...
