Researchers at Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT-Italian Institute of Technology) have developed an innovative microscopy ...

Individual mammalian cells contain billions of protein molecules, which must be synthesized, deployed, and removed with ...

This important study, which tackles the challenge of analyzing genome integrity and instability in unicellular pathogens by introducing a novel single-cell genomics approach, presents compelling ...

The enzyme E3 ligase plays a key role here by acting as a “broker” that mediates the labeling of the proteins to be degraded. A research team at Goethe University Frankfurt has now made the first ...

Owkin, the AI company on a mission to solve the complexity of biology, today announced the launch of its agentic ...

Biologists mapping the human microbiome expected to find new bacteria and viruses, not entities that slip through every ...

Biologists are quietly rewriting what it means to be alive, and the human body has become one of their strangest frontiers.

Think back to that basic biology class you took in high school. You probably learned about organelles, those little “organs” inside cells that form compartments with individual functions. For example, ...

When a pathogen like a dangerous virus invades the human body, it usually has to enter human cells to cause an illness. Influenza has to latch onto a receptor on the surface of a human cell so it can ...

A research team has found that specific immune cells can connect with muscle fibers in a lightning-fast, neuron-like way to promote healing. These cells deliver quick pulses of calcium, triggering ...

An electromagnetic device can gently sort cells by levitating them to different heights. It looks like a magic trick: cells at the bottom of a liquid medium begin levitating, then hovering at a ...

Stem cells in most organisms typically take cues from adjacent cells. But new research from the Stowers Institute for Medical Research has found that stem cells in the freshwater planarian Schmidtea ...
