La Trobe University scientists have uncovered the critical role fatty cell structures play in our body's early detection and ...

A new study published in PLoS Biology has found that learning a new motor skill sets off two different types of cellular ...

For cells to function properly, they must produce the right amount of each protein. It is a delicate balance: Both too little ...

When oil is dropped in water, the oil droplets stay separate. Cells can also use a system like this to separate or gather materials, encouraging various reactions and processes to occur. Scientists ...

Biomolecular condensates were long believed to be simple liquid blobs inside cells. Researchers have now uncovered that some are actually supported by fine protein filaments forming an internal ...

Researchers at Queen Mary University of London and University of Cambridge in collaboration with colleagues at HHMI Janelia and NIH, have created some of the most detailed three-dimensional maps ever ...

Influenza A virus dismantles paraspeckles, small RNA-scaffolded structures inside the cell nucleus, to suppress antiviral defenses and gain access to the host’s own gene-processing machinery. New ...

Scientists found a hidden 'gatekeeper' in brain cells that may explain—and help stop—Alzheimer's damage.

A team of researchers has developed an innovative imaging platform that promises to improve our understanding of cellular structures at the nanoscale. This platform, called soTILT3D for ...

Biomedical research typically follows a familiar path: developing treatments that block, enhance or mutate certain signaling pathways, genes or proteins to change the function of different cells in ...
