Researchers have discovered how unstructured segments of surface proteins regulate the biological function of a cell. Their ...

The 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded for the development of CRISPR/Cas9, a method also known as "gene scissors," which enables researchers to better understand how human cells function and ...

Researchers at Duke University used CRISPR technologies to discover previously unannotated stretches of DNA in the "dark genome" that are responsible for controlling how cells sense and respond to the ...

A new preclinical study titled "Intravitreal Transplantation of Retinal Progenitor Cells Improves Outcome Measures in a Rat ...

3D electron tomography reveals glycogen particles (purple) clustered on the surface of lipid droplets (yellow), closely associated with endoplasmic reticulum membranes (blue) and mitochondria (red), ...

An international research team has fabricated organic solar cells using non-toxic solvents. The researchers identified interactions between the acceptor material side chains and the solvent, along ...

The mechanical properties of tissue matrix are crucial for maintaining cell health and function. With aging, tissue matrix loses its mechanical integrity and exhibits altered biophysical properties, ...

From the moment they're born, newborns—or, specifically, their immune systems—must learn to fight germs without harming their ...
