Cells are enveloped by a lipid membrane that gives them structure and provides a barrier between the cell and its environment ...

Creating artificial systems that mimic the functioning of cells is one of the goals of what is known as synthetic biology.

As we age, our ability to maintain healthy blood and a strong immune system gradually declines, largely because hematopoietic ...

Mitochondria don’t just generate energy—they also carefully organize their own DNA in a surprisingly elegant way. Scientists have discovered that a long-overlooked phenomenon called “mitochondrial ...

If scientists could shrink themselves to microscopic size and take a journey through the human body—like the submarine crew ...

Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University have identified a previously unknown system inside cells that works like ...

BackgroundFluorescence microscopy is an indispensable tool for observing cellular dynamics and internal structures. To reduce photobleaching and ...

This paper provides a valuable observation that imiquimod, a compound often used to induce a psoriasis-like skin inflammation in mice, has a TLR7-independent effect acting through the unfolded protein ...

In this study, the authors use microCT to image an intact hatchling octopus and segment major organ systems, including the vascular, respiratory, digestive, and nervous systems. The resulting dataset ...

Neuroscientists have faced a longstanding challenge. Many important cerebral processes, including learning, memory formation and decision-making, are regulated by structures deep within the brain. But ...

Raman spectroscopy reveals a novel extracellular cyanobacterial pigment with unique molecular signatures, enhancing ...
