Improvements in public health have allowed humankind to survive to older ages than ever before, but, for many people, these ...

Taking images of tiny structures within cells is tricky business. One technique, cryogenic electron tomography (cryoET), shoots electrons through a frozen sample. The images formed by the electrons ...

Both images show individual red blood cells. The one on the right, produced by STED, more clearly shows the Piezo1 proteins (in green), which are a mechanical calcium channel and play a crucial role ...

In A Nutshell As cells age, they deliberately shrink a major internal structure called the endoplasmic reticulum. This downsizing happens early in adulthood and shifts cells away from protein ...

In a scientific first, researchers from Vanderbilt University and the University of California, San Diego, have generated a high-resolution metabolic "map" of how cells orchestrate glucose processing, ...

Advancements in spatial proteomics enable detailed tissue mapping, linking protein localization to disease mechanisms and ...
