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

The exocyst complex is a highly conserved hetero‐octameric assembly that plays a fundamental role in the tethering of secretory vesicles to the plasma membrane, thereby directing the process of ...

AI is making waves in health care and medicine. Does the technology have the potential for breakthroughs in how we tackle ...

The researchers' findings, reported in Nature Structural & Molecular Biology, which involve radial spoke 3 (RS3), help answer some fundamental questions about how motile cilia work and could ...

Researchers discovered that a long-misunderstood protein plays a key role in helping chromosomes latch onto the right “tracks” during cell division. Instead of acting like a motor, it works more like ...

In a first-of-its-kind study, researchers demonstrate that functional nervous systems can form within self-organized living 'neurobots'.

Cellular health plays a crucial role in your overall well-being. On average, the human body has between 30-40 trillion cells of various types and with various functions. The healthier your cells are, ...

Five years ago, Nobel laureate Carolyn Bertozzi, PhD, and her team described novel small RNA-glycan conjugates, glycosylated RNAs (glycoRNAs), on the cell surface. These small non-coding RNAs have ...

Researchers at Umeå University have contributed new insights into how cancer cells protect themselves from cell death. The ...

A research team led by scientists from the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP) in São Paulo, Brazil, has made significant ...
