Cells require lipids to maintain their integrity and separate cellular functions for appropriate homeostasis and regulation. Advances in lipid detection methods and techniques to probe lipid functions ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

A tiny antibody component could fundamentally transform the treatment of cystic fibrosis: For the first time, researchers ...

Spatial proteomics is a spatial biology method that helps study the spatial distribution of the proteins within cells and tissues. The subcellular localization of proteins is intrinsic to cellular ...

As we age, stem cells responsible for maintaining our blood and immune systems gradually lose their resilience, but why this happens has remained unclear. A novel study from Japan and the US turns the ...

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 ...

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 ...

Weill Cornell Medicine researchers have found that temporarily disabling a protein complex that organizes DNA into loops ...

It can be estimated theoretically that more unique biological interactions exist than stars in our known universe. The ...
