Scientists discover a 'mortality timer' in cells, revealing new insights into aging and potential ways to extend lifespan.

The yeast cells act as microscopic factories, capable of producing therapeutic compounds or breaking down complex substances into simpler, usable forms. By responding dynamically to disease ...

Smaller nucleoli slow aging, acting as a "mortality timer," while larger nucleoli lead to cell death by destabilizing rDNA. The secret to cellular youth may lie in maintaining a small nucleolus—a ...

PDAT enzymes use membrane phospholipids as direct fatty acid donors to generate triglycerides stored in lipid droplets. This ...
