Biologists have long treated cell membranes as passive barriers, thin skins that separate the chemistry of life from the ...

Researchers have combined two microscopic imaging techniques in one microscope, providing scientists with a high-resolution method of tracking single molecules in a cellular context. The development ...

The population across developed countries is getting older and the associated frailty and debilitation are becoming major health problems. This gradual muscle loss is accelerated by the poor capacity ...

Muscle cells contain their own circadian clocks and disrupting them with shift work can have a profound impact on ageing, according to new research. Muscle cells contain their own circadian clocks and ...

In a new study, stopping skeletal-muscle cancer cells from making a specific protein forced them to turn into healthy muscle cells. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

What does the inside of a cell really look like? In the past, standard microscopes were limited in how well they could answer this question. Now, researchers from the Universities of Göttingen and ...

An optogenetic method for orchestrating the movement of starfish oocytes has been developed. A research team from MIT (MA, USA), the University of Munich (Germany) and the Whitehead Institute for ...
