When human cells lack oxygen, they must react. Without oxygen, the metabolism can hardly generate energy, and many vital processes begin to falter. A research team from Bielefeld University, together ...

Copper is an essential micronutrient that serves as a cofactor for numerous enzymes, playing a vital role in processes ranging from cellular respiration to antioxidant defence. Eukaryotic cells employ ...

New technique to image single lipids: Lipids are notoriously difficult to detect with light microscopy. Using a new chemical labeling strategy, the Dresden team has overcome this limitation, enabling ...

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology is delighted to present the ‘Reviews and Advances’ series of article ...

During cell division, adherent animal cells round up to create the precise spatial geometry required for accurate chromosome ...

Human stem cells can differentiate into any human cell. But the process of dedifferentiation, essentially differentiation in reverse, is implicated in several diseases. Now researchers have uncovered ...

Researchers have, for the first time, observed a mechanism used by cancer cells to resist the effects of chemotherapy. The findings could be used to develop targeted drugs to help override it and make ...
