Engineered fluorescent nanobodies that work inside living cells can label multiple proteins in different colors at once, ...

A team led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers has uncovered the atomic structure of a protein complex pivotal to the function of motile cilia, the hair-like structures extending from the ...

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," ...

Tiny tweaks in DNA folding can have big effects. A study from Umeå University shows that even the most subtle changes in DNA's shape have an important influence on gene activity and energy production.

B lymphocytes exhibit dual roles in tumorigenesis, acting as both allies and adversaries in the tumor microenvironment (TME). Their anti-tumor functions include recognizing tumor-associated antigens, ...

Many promising therapies fail because preclinical models do not fully capture the complexity of the human heart. A new review ...

Networks of protein fibers play important roles in living cells. To understand the dynamical behavior of these networks, ...

University of Oregon neuroscientists have identified a group of brain cells that essentially act as a "disappointment meter," ...

Life and death are traditionally viewed as opposites. But the emergence of new multicellular life-forms from the cells of a dead organism introduces a “third state” that lies beyond the traditional ...
