New experimental results have cast doubt on earlier proposals suggesting that spherical, cell-like membranes could form in ...

A simulated cell in the early stages of division. Left half shows membrane (green cubes), and ribosomes (yellow/purple) interwoven through in the cell’s chromosome (red). Right side shows all the ...

In its purest form (with no extra debris), liquid water can exist as a liquid until -40°C if left still (unmoving). In order ...

An international research team from Bielefeld University and the Leibniz-Forschungsinstitut für Molekulare Pharmakologie (FMP) has uncovered a previously unknown regulatory mechanism in human cells.

Cholesterol enhances melanoma cell invasion by making nuclei squishier, revealing a potential treatment target in cancer progression.

Researchers at the University of California, Irvine, Israel's Tel Aviv University and other institutions have developed a ...

Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have built a computer simulation that tracks the entire life cycle ...

Rendering a drug effective or ineffective in a flash at the appropriate location—this is the focus of research in photopharmacology. The goal is to develop drugs that can be switched on and off with ...

Scientists at Georgetown University's Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center have uncovered a new dual function for a ...

Researchers identified TBC1D9B as the off switch for ARL8B, a key regulator of lysosome positioning. This mechanism controls how cells adapt to nutrient stress and maintain metabolic balance.

Musculoskeletal disorders are a primary cause of disability worldwide, especially in aging societies like Japan. As individuals age, reductions in muscle mass and physical activity weaken the body's ...

Scientists at Georgetown University's Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center have uncovered a new dual function for a well-known cancer-related protein called ezrin. This finding could potentially open ...
