A growing body of work suggests that cell metabolism — the chemical reactions that provide energy and building materials — plays a vital, overlooked role in the first steps of life. Each of us starts ...

A new study describes a technique that rejuvenates aging blood-forming stem cells and could help reduce the risk of age-related blood disorders.

In living organisms, the cell membrane plays a crucial role. It’s not just a protective barrier—it also senses the environment, helps transport molecules, and allows cells to adapt and change. This ...

The integration of single-cell and spatial transcriptomics with advanced metabolic profiling tools has revolutionized the ...

Cell metabolism comprises the complete set of chemical reactions that sustain life by converting nutrients into energy and essential biomolecules. It is broadly divided into anabolic pathways, which ...

Researchers profiled mitochondrial circular RNAs in human blood cells and found age-related depletion of circMT-RNR2, linked to mitochondrial metabolism and senescence. The RNA-binding protein GRSF1 ...

Researchers at the University of Basel are able to test in parallel the effects of over 1500 active substances on cell metabolism. Their analysis also led to the discovery of previously unknown ...

Artist rendering showing a vortex of energy and how certain lipids and fatty acids come together to form a membrane. The process is cyclical as components come together and separate and energt is ...

After a century of false starts, scientists believe they have found a way to make cells burn more energy without the dangerous side effects – and it could be a breakthrough that reshapes weight-loss ...

Understanding how tumors change their metabolism to resist treatments is a growing focus in cancer research. As cancer cells adapt to therapies, their metabolism often shifts, which can help them ...
