Our cells' membranes have many functions. They not only provide mechanical protection but also precisely control which ...

An international research team led jointly by the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG), the University of Göttingen and the University of Western Ontario in London, Canada, has shown that nerve ...

Life and death are traditionally viewed as opposites. But the emergence of new multicellular life-forms from the cells of a ...

A new 3D-structure of a cancer-linked protein bound to its cellular partner reveals details of how the protein binds to ...

A scientific team has developed a laboratory model that reveals how antibody-producing plasma cells migrate, mature and ...

That means researchers can now use it to better understand how genes function, how diseases start and how to design better treatments. "Every single cell can have a different chromosome structure," ...

Scientists discovered that brain-cell axons may not be smooth tubes as textbooks have shown for more than a century, but instead naturally resemble strings of tiny pearls. Those pearl-like structures ...

Cell surface proteins are essential regulators of cell communication, mediating immune activation, cell adhesion, receptor ...

Battelle will explore controlling biological functions with microsystems and molecular catalysts. MICA aims to develop artificial nonliving cells capable of sensing, self-repair, and information ...
