The storage of energy in molecules is an important aspect of biological processes, particularly in living organisms. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the primary molecule involved…

The term “anticancer genes” typically refers to genes that play a role in the prevention or inhibition of cancer development and progression. When anticancer genes…

Cell death is a normal and necessary part of the cell’s life cycle. It is the failure of a biological cell to perform its functions.…

Viral eukaryogenesis is the theory that the cell nucleus of eukaryotic life forms evolved from a large DNA virus in an endosymbiotic relationship with a…

Although the relationship between obesity, insulin resistance, and neurodegeneration is complex and not fully understood, there is evidence to support it. Researchers at the Fred…

The integrated stress response is a cellular stress response conserved in eukaryotic cells that reduces protein synthesis while increasing the expression of specific genes in…

The cell membrane invaginates during pinocytosis, forming small vesicles that bring extracellular fluid and its dissolved solutes into the cell. Pinocytosis, also known as fluid…

Trans-endocytosis is the biological process by which material produced in one cell is endocytosed (enters) into another cell. If the material is large enough, this…

Phagocytosis is a critical cellular process that allows certain cells to engulf and consume solid particles such as bacteria, cellular debris, or other foreign particles.…

The placental microbiome refers to the nonpathogenic, commensal bacteria that are thought to be present in a healthy human placenta, as opposed to the bacteria…

Changes in gene expression that do not involve changes to the underlying DNA sequence are referred to as epigenetics. Environmental factors and lifestyle choices can…

The human virome is a collection of viruses that live in the human body. It refers to the total number of viruses found in and…
