Researchers at Karolinska Institutet have discovered how cells can adjust their gene activity to survive when oxygen runs low. The study, published in Nature Cell Biology, reveals that cells use a ...

Cells manage a wide range of functions in their tiny package — growing, moving, housekeeping, and so on — and most of those functions require energy. But how do cells get this energy in the first ...

Scientists have long known that people living at high altitudes, where oxygen levels are low, have lower rates of diabetes ...

Learn how oxygen’s early rise could have given complex life the energy boost it needed to evolve.

Red blood cells (RBCs), traditionally regarded as passive oxygen carriers, are now recognized as highly dynamic regulators of immune and vascular ...

Scientists have discovered that red blood cells act as hidden glucose sponges in low-oxygen conditions, explaining why people ...

Running extreme distances may strain more than just muscles and joints. New research suggests ultramarathons can alter red ...

A study published 19 February in Cell Metabolism, a Cell Press journal, found red blood cells step in as a major 'glucose ...

Chemists discover how key contrast agent works, paving a way to create new markers needed for correlative microscopy that can image the structure and signaling of cells at the same time. Two labs at ...
