Cells shrink a major internal structure as they age. New research shows this downsizing is deliberate—and linked to longer ...

Improvements in public health have allowed humankind to survive to older ages than ever before, but, for many people, these ...

Mount Sinai and BPGbio scientists uncover novel molecular drivers from live brain samples that direct human brain structure and function from ...

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have characterized how cellular senescence—a biological process in ...

Vaults are mysterious cellular structures that can be genetically engineered to store information about a cell’s history.

Human cells are extremely small and tightly packed – at about 20 micrometers across, ...

Researchers examined anatomy of neurons from humans, mice and fruit flies. They discovered that the cellular structure of the brain is at a critical point, poised between two phases. New insights ...

A new study published in Nature Biotechnology shows that stem cell differentiation is linked to cellular structures called P-bodies, providing a potential means of controlling cell identity.
