One of the most well-studied cellular responses is how they react during times of stress, such as when the temperature gets ...

Mothers and daughters have a strong bond, yet do you know that connections reminiscent of this close relationship extend all the way to the cellular level? During the process of cell division, new ...

Cells inherit protection from one of the sun’s overlooked harms—UV-damaged RNA. Although the harms of UV-damaged RNA aren’t as well recognized as the harms of UV-damaged DNA, they shouldn’t be ...

Scientists have developed a novel human brain organoid model that generates all the major cell types of the cerebellum, a hindbrain region predominantly made up of two cell types necessary for ...

Now, in a recently published Journal of Cell Biology paper, scientists used a newer electron microscopy technique, called volume electron microscopy (vEM), to examine how primary cilia on developing ...

Many cells in our body have a single primary cilium, a micrometer-long, hair-like organelle protruding from the cell surface that transmits cellular signals. Cilia are important for regulating ...

Max Planck Institute of Immunobiology and EpigeneticsMar 18 2024 UV radiation in the sunlight causes sunburn and increases the risk of skin cancer by damaging our DNA but also our RNA. Researcher at ...
