Like modern-day high performance machines, cells are constantly monitoring signals in their environment in order to “decide” on a course of action such as growth or movement. The signals are ...

Research conducted by Toyohashi University of Technology in collaboration with Tohoku University elucidated the fusion process of proteoliposomes with an artificial lipid bilayer and the mechanism ...

In new research, scientists at the Department of Energy's SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, in collaboration with ...

The structure of the cell, and its components, have largely been explored through methods such as protein fluorescent imaging and protein biophysical association. Now, researchers have combined ...

Average location of 17 structures, each a different color, inside of a human cell. (Allen Institute Image / Matheus P. Viana et al. ) Our cells are built from smaller structures that specialize in the ...

Scientists have shown how machinery within immune system T cells responds to outside signals and activates the cells to attack cancerous, infected, or otherwise diseased cells. In just a few years, ...

Viral proteins encoded by SARS-CoV-2 disrupt critical components of human cells’ molecular machinery and disable responses to infection, according to a study published October 8 in Cell. Researchers ...

Neuroscientists have moved one step closer to understanding the complete list of cell types in the brain. In the most comprehensive study of its kind to date, the researchers sorted cells from the ...
