A new discovery inside your cells may change how scientists understand disease and design future treatments. Researchers have ...

All life is made up of cells several magnitudes smaller than a grain of salt. Their seemingly simple-looking structures mask the intricate and complex molecular activity that enables them to carry out ...

The hippocampus is an important brain region known to support various cognitive (i.e., mental) processes, including the ...

All living beings, big or small, are formed through the hard work of many different cells. To keep the body ready for any ...

The Journal of Cell Biology (JCB) is a not-for-profit publication, edited by scientists, and a leading life sciences journal. The JCB publishes papers on all aspects of cellular structure and function ...

Melanoblasts (Mbs) are thought to be strictly regulated by cell-cell interactions with epidermal keratinocytes, although the precise molecular mechanism of the regulation has been elusive. Notch ...

Protein production (translation) is a complex process involving machinery called ribosomes. How do cells counter ribosomal destabilization leading to premature termination of translation? Scientists ...

Researchers from Japan found that macro-heterogeneity (the presence of multiple cell types) and micro-heterogeneity ...
