When cancer cells are physically squeezed, they mount an instant, high-energy defense by rushing mitochondria to the cell nucleus, unleashing a surge of ATP that fuels DNA repair and survival. This ...

Some eukaryotes consist of a single cell; but most single-celled creatures are made of simpler cells which lack obvious subdivisions and in which membranes are used almost exclusively to define the ...

The discovery of a defensive mechanism could help stop cancer before it spreads. Cancer cells rapidly increase their energy output when physically squeezed, according to a study in Nature ...

Inside nearly every cell of your body, the tiny F1 motor works non-stop to create adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the universal energy source that powers almost every action you take—from breathing to ...

A recent study conducted by researchers at Queen Mary University of London unveiled a new mechanism through which cells control aging. With simple fission yeast, the scientists showed that Rapalink-1, ...

Discover how exercise reduces the risk of diseases by triggering a hormetic response in our cells and enhancing mitochondrial function. Learn how the Yan lab's research on AMPK could pave the way for ...

Is It Effective? Creatine has long been a popular supplement for athletes and bodybuilders who want to boost muscle strength and performance.

Postdoctoral Associate Ryan Montalvo’s project will investigate mitochondrial response to physiological and pathological stressors in the lab of Zhen Yan of the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at ...

Don't love the gym? Neither does exercise scientist Ryan Montalvo. But he goes anyway. While any workout can seem daunting, the physical stress of exercise often affords long-term benefits. One ...
