Biological processes that govern our lives are many, intertwined, and often difficult to understand. They involve countless ...

An international group of researchers led by Pompeu Fabra University has discovered the nanomachine that controls ...

Thanks to a recent study by researchers at IOCB Prague, it is now possible to monitor processes in living cells more ...

Septins are a conserved family of GTP-binding proteins that assemble into filamentous structures, earning them recognition as the fourth component of the cytoskeleton alongside actin, microtubules and ...

Cytochrome c is a pivotal haemoprotein that resides within the mitochondrial intermembrane space, where it fulfils essential roles in cellular respiration and the regulation of apoptosis. Functioning ...

Researchers at UC Merced used fruit flies to uncover a cellular process common to many organisms that could dramatically impact the understanding of cancer and aging. Department of Molecular and Cell ...

Scientists have uncovered a new way embryonic cells divide when conventional mechanisms fail. Cell division underpins all ...

Reducing manual touchpoints is an important part of supporting more consistent and scalable manufacturing processes.

Researchers shifted the focus to the internal properties of the membrane itself, specifically its viscosity, highlighting its critical role in controlling deformation and dynamics during essential ...

UC Davis researchers Gant Luxton, Daniel Starr and Xiangyi Ding have used tiny fluorescent particles to study what is going on inside the cells of Caenorhabditis worms. They found that the cells are ...

Scientists found out how naturally unstable filaments decide whether to grow or to shorten. In a groundbreaking study published today in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences ...

This work provides a window into how future drug treatments could target the protein without disrupting other important cellular processes. Such attempts have failed so far, however, often because ...
