Scientists have discovered that lysosomes, structures traditionally viewed as the cell's recycling centers, also play a role ...

Scientists have traced a rare inherited heart rhythm disorder to an unexpected channel that allows sodium into heart cells.

A research team of the Center for Brain Research at the Medical University of Vienna has identified a specific cell group in the brain responsible for shifts in the sleep-wake rhythm caused by ...

Nearly every organism on Earth follows a natural circadian rhythm that is coded by your cell's clock genes, which do exactly as you suspect from the name: regulate your body's rhythm on a 24-hour ...

The sites where our bodies come into contact with the outside world—via skin, the surface of the eye, inside the mouth, the lining of the intestine and the urinary tract, for example—are known as ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists led by Joseph Bass, MD, Ph.D., the Charles F. Kettering Professor of Endocrinology and Metabolism and director of the Center for Diabetes and Metabolism, have ...

Scientists have discovered that lysosomes, structures traditionally viewed as the cell's recycling centres, also play a role in regulating the heart's ...

AMOLF researchers discovered a mysterious interplay of insulin signals in the worm C. elegans. The insulin-driven protein DAF-16 does not only move in and out of the cell nucleus in a complex rhythm, ...

A study reveals that the migration of innate lymphoid cells is ruled by circadian rhythms and are one of the many biological functions dictated by the Earth's 24-hour day/night cycle. The sites where ...

Fibroblasts need to accumulate at the wound site when repairing wounds such as skin wounds. We found that fibroblasts with long primary cilia migrate slower to the wound site than fibroblasts with ...
