Cells endure starvation conditions by rewiring their metabolic pathways. For example, in yeast, ribosomes are known to coat mitochondria. Exactly how this behavior promotes survival has remained ...

University of Queensland researchers say the discovery of a new stress reduction role for a naturally occurring molecule in ...

Cells are not passive victims of stress, waiting for damage to accumulate before reacting. They are equipped with intricate early-warning systems that sense trouble long before a tissue fails or a ...

Scientists identify measurable cellular changes that flag higher cancer risk more than a decade before tumors appear. In A Nutshell Liver cells under chronic dietary stress essentially “forget” their ...

The cells in your pancreas, like people, can only handle so much stress before they start to break down. Certain stressors, such as inflammation and high blood sugar, contribute to the development of ...

Stress is as bad for cells as it is for people, but scientists have had a hard time devising ways to study its effects on cells without killing them. Yale researchers have developed a system that ...

EPFL scientists have identified a molecular pathway that protects cells from lipid oxidation and ferroptosis, a regulated form of cell death involved in aging and several diseases. Our cells ...

Cells fine-tune gene expression in response to cellular stress, a process critical for tumor progression that leads to cancer. However, elucidating mechanisms governing stress-responsive transcription ...

A new University of Manchester and Edinburgh study published in the journal Brain, Behavior and Immunity has found that ...

Researchers investigating ways to reduce exhaustion in cancer-fighting T-cells found that the Golgi apparatus can be used as a simple marker -- more Golgi means a more robust cell. The Golgi apparatus ...
