Biological processes that govern our lives are many, intertwined, and often difficult to understand. They involve countless ...

Septins are a conserved family of GTP-binding proteins that assemble into filamentous structures, earning them recognition as the fourth component of the cytoskeleton alongside actin, microtubules and ...

An international group of researchers led by Pompeu Fabra University has discovered the nanomachine that controls ...

Cytochrome c is a pivotal haemoprotein that resides within the mitochondrial intermembrane space, where it fulfils essential roles in cellular respiration and the regulation of apoptosis. Functioning ...

Thanks to a recent study by researchers at IOCB Prague, it is now possible to monitor processes in living cells more ...

Researchers at UC Merced used fruit flies to uncover a cellular process common to many organisms that could dramatically impact the understanding of cancer and aging. Department of Molecular and Cell ...

Scientists have uncovered a new way embryonic cells divide when conventional mechanisms fail. Cell division underpins all ...

Kevin Courtney, assistant professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Medicine in the WVU School of Medicine, is leading an investigation into how glitches during cellular self-cleaning ...

Many biological processes are regulated by electricity-from nerve impulses to heartbeats to the movement of molecules in and out of cells. A new study by Scripps Research scientists reveals a ...

Scientists found out how naturally unstable filaments decide whether to grow or to shorten. In a groundbreaking study published today in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences ...

Reducing manual touchpoints is an important part of supporting more consistent and scalable manufacturing processes.

UC Davis researchers Gant Luxton, Daniel Starr and Xiangyi Ding have used tiny fluorescent particles to study what is going on inside the cells of Caenorhabditis worms. They found that the cells are ...
