We tend to view ourselves and the complex cells that build us as a distinct branch of the tree of life from the compact, ...

ESPRESSO (Environmental Sensors Phenotyping Relayed by Subcellular Structures and Organelles) combines live-cell fluorescent dyes, hyperspectral microscopy, image processing and data analysis to relay ...

The cytoskeleton is a crucial determinant of mammalian cell structure and function, providing mechanical resilience, supporting the cell membrane and orchestrating essential processes such as cell ...

The group of scientists, which included collaborators from the Marine Biological Laboratory at Woods Hole, Massachusetts, found that in vibrantly colored squid mantle tissues, light-manipulating cells ...

Researchers have profiled the molecular structure and features of a key part of the deadly Nipah virus. Experiments in cells showe how changes in the viral polymerase -- a protein involved in viral ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered that little-studied DNA structures play a central role in organizing the human genome and controlling gene activity, according to a new study published ...
