Viral pathogens like the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus change the interior structure of the cells they infect. These changes occur at the level of individual cell components – the organelles – and can ...

Temperatures of minus 196 degrees Celsius enable high-resolution imaging of the cell's interior. Researchers are thus able to show for the first time how the active form of a protein complex plays ...

Researchers have found a new, dynamic protein structure in cells. Every cell contains millions of protein molecules. Some of them have the ability to phase-separate to form non-membrane-bound ...

UCLA scientists have characterized the structure and function of a key survival protein in breast cancer cells that helps ...

When two cells "talk" to each other, they often do so through tiny channels called electrical synapses. Unlike chemical ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists have uncovered how a specific type of cell in the inner ear plays a commanding role in shaping the cellular landscape of the organ responsible for hearing, according ...

A new class of drugs that combine artificial DNA structures with antibodies could make immunotherapies even more targeted—all you have to do is fold over and over again. In a study published Aug. 17 ...

Human embryo development and early organ formation remain largely unexplored due to ethical issues surrounding the use of embryos for research as well as limited availability of materials to study. In ...

Bangkok — Scientists have developed human embryo-like structures without using sperm, an egg or fertilization, offering hope for research on miscarriage and birth defects but also raising fresh ...
