Scientists are investigating how exercise-triggered stress reshapes the cell’s energy systems, and whether those same mechanisms could eventually help counter metabolic disease. Don’t like the gym?

Emotional states in animals are thought to be encoded by the coordinated activity of distributed brain networks, triggered by specific external stimuli.

One strange marsh plant can keep itself near room temperature even in freezing weather. Here’s the biology behind its ...

Bdelloid rotifers shrug off radiation doses that would obliterate human cells. Here’s how their resilience reveals deep ...

Eighteenth-­century mental institutions employed a tactic called the bain de surprise, suddenly dunking their patients in cold water to jolt them out of their depression or psychosis. (Some doctors ...

When a virus infects a bacterial cell, the viral genome is the first component to be fully injected into the cell, making it an ideal immune target. A bacterial enzyme anchored to the membrane ...

Researchers identify the hippocampus and microglia as the "tipping point" that determines if chronic pain leads to depression or resilience.

Researchers identified TBC1D9B as the off switch for ARL8B, a key regulator of lysosome positioning. This mechanism controls how cells adapt to nutrient stress and maintain metabolic balance.

A new University of Utah-led study has discovered the mechanism behind a decades-old evolutionary mystery-how "selfish chromosomes" cheat the rules of genetic inheritance.

Lysosomes are the control centers for the metabolism of cells and tissues, including the brain. They break down defective proteins and other macromolecules into their basic building blocks.
