Biologists have long treated the cell as a chemical factory, but a new wave of research is forcing a rethink of that familiar ...

Researchers have discovered a mechanism in our cells that is essential to energy production in the muscles. The discovery may lead to new treatment for disorders affecting the muscles, like diabetes, ...

Cells spend energy not just on reactions, but on control. New research explains why staying stable comes with an unseen ...

Cells do more than carry out chemical reactions. New theoretical work suggests they may also generate usable electrical energy through constant motion in their membranes, offering a fresh way to think ...

While it is common knowledge that physical exercise is good for us, a lot of the underlying molecular mechanisms remain to be identified. Now researchers from the University of Copenhagen have ...

Cells manage a wide range of functions in their tiny package — growing, moving, housekeeping, and so on — and most of those functions require energy. But how do cells get this energy in the first ...

The population across developed countries is getting older and the associated frailty and debilitation are becoming major health problems. This gradual muscle loss is accelerated by the poor capacity ...

A new study from Karolinska Institutet, published in Science Translational Medicine, shows that people with type 2 diabetes have lower levels of the protein that breaks down and converts creatine in ...

Type 2 diabetes doesn’t just raise the risk of heart disease—it physically reshapes the heart itself. Researchers studying ...
