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

Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles whose acidic lumen (pH 4.5–5.0) is required for degradation. This luminal acidity is ...

Cancer cells have softer membranes than healthy cells. New nanoparticles exploit this physical difference to fuse selectively ...

Researchers have developed technologies that allow damaged proteins to be shredded or healthy ones installed. This may ...

Navigating the world is no mean feat, especially when the world pushes back. For instance, airflow hitting a fly on its right ...

A team from the Würzburg Institute of Experimental Biomedicine I and the Rudolf Virchow Center (RVZ) has fundamentally changed our understanding of ...

Hungarian biologist Tibor Gánti is an obscure figure. Now, more than a decade after his death, his ideas about how life began ...

Modern cells are complex chemical entities with cytoskeletons, finely regulated internal and external molecules, and genetic material that determines nearly every aspect of their functioning. This ...

The novel biosensor technology used in this study can also be transferred to other so-called G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), which act as crucial “signal receivers” in our cells and are of major ...

Dewpoint has selected a novel small molecule to prevent the formation of abnormal TDP-43 protein clumps in ALS and other ...
