Aging is a privilege, but it also brings risks—including an increased likelihood of developing age-related diseases including ...

Over time, the inhaled asbestos particles cause inflammation of the mesothelium (also called the pleura), causing the healthy cells to mutate into cancer cells over the next 20-50 years. Unfortunately ...

While prokaryotic cells do not have membrane-bound structures, they do have distinct cellular regions (Figure 1). In prokaryotic cells, DNA bundles together in a region called the nucleoid. Primitive ...

Neurons are cells in the body that are responsible for transmitting electrical signals through the nervous system. Different types of neurons affect the ability to move, which begins as an impulse, or ...

It feels like the Splinter Cell remake has been on its way for a while now, which isn't helped by the fact it's been over three years since we heard anything official about the game. From what we ...

Pleural fluid is secreted by the specialized cells in the pleura called mesothelial cells. The fluid allows the layers to glide over each other as the lungs inflate and deflate during respiration ...

We use this model to generate hydrocarbons of different sizes and complexity without prior knowledge of organic chemistry rules, and to highlight intrinsic limitations to the simultaneous description ...

Eating foods high in key nutrients, including iron, folic acid, and vitamin B12, and limiting alcohol may help increase your red blood cell count. Red blood cells are the most common cells in ...

In 2009 a team of biophysicists led by Anthony A. Hyman of the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics in Dresden, Germany, were studying specklelike structures called P ...
