Transport proteins are responsible for the ongoing movement of substrates into and out of a biological cell. However, it is difficult to determine which substrates a specific protein can transport.

How do biological cells join forces to form a structure? In her Ph.D. research, Daphne Nesenberend uses mathematics to show ...

This novel hybrid microscope allows for the simultaneous imaging of the full 3D orientation and position of molecules within cells. Researchers from the Marine Biological Laboratory (MA, USA) have ...

The cell is grown on a Si-C-Membrane and embedded in its liquid medium. The tip of the s-SNOM detects vibrations, probed by Infrared-Light from BESSY II. Infrared vibrational spectroscopy at BESSY II ...

In this piece, I highlight one particular talk that caught my interest — given by Elana Fertig, Dean E. Albert Reece Endowed ...

Scientists have uncovered a previously unknown type of molecular motion inside DNA-based droplets: instead of spreading randomly, guest molecules advance in an organized wave. This surprising ...

All living organisms are made of cells, which are the smallest unit of life. Plants and animals have up to trillions of cells that work together to produce ever more intricate organization and ...
