Mitochondria are essential for cell survival, repair, and adaptation. Not only do they generate most of the energy needed ...

The typical job of the proteasome, the garbage disposal of the cell, is to grind down proteins into smaller bits and recycle some of those bits and parts. That's still the case, for the most part, but ...

Scientists link TMC protein membrane disruption to hearing loss, showing how mutations, drugs and noise trigger hair cell death and deafness.

Researchers discovered that the mitochondrial MIM complex influences lipid droplet accumulation in yeast cells through ...

Modern cells are complex chemical entities with cytoskeletons, finely regulated internal and external molecules, and genetic material that determines ...

Proteins long known to be essential for hearing have been hiding a talent: they also act as gatekeepers that shuffle fatty molecules across cell membranes. When this newly discovered function goes ...

Researchers discover that hearing-essential proteins (TMC1/TMC2) also regulate cell membranes, and their malfunction is a primary cause of permanent hearing loss.
