Post-menopausal women with atherosclerosis need to take the correct timing for hormone replacement therapy.

Accumulation of iron with age may inhibit the benefits of hormone replacement therapy on cardiovascular disease in late postmenopause.

Binding of the second messenger inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate to its intracellular receptor drives interaction between the intracellular Ca2+ sensor STIM and the plasma membrane localized Ca2+ channel Orai and raises the level of store-operated Ca2+ entry in mammalian cells.

Mitochondria serve as a reservoir for the sorting of an miRNA into P-bodies and from there into exosomes secreted from human cultured cells.

Lineage-specific Drosophila cell lines provide in vitro models for cell, biochemical, and high-throughput analyses in defined cell types.

Nucleosomes inside of baker’s yeast cells largely do not resemble those found in test tubes.

Inflammation reprograms the citrate cycle in adrenocortical cells leading to altered steroidogenesis.

Gαq stimulates HDAC5 phosphorylation by PKC-independent PKD/PKCμ activation to induce the IκB expression and limit the NF-κB-mediated inflammatory response which essential for proper endometrial decidualization and early pregnancy.

The BABY algorithm by estimating growth rates of individual cells from time-lapse microscopy images will help characterise the diversity in populations of budding cells, particularly differences in fitness.
