An international research team led jointly by the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG), the University of Göttingen, and the University of Western Ontario in London, Canada, has shown that nerve ...

A team led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers has uncovered the atomic structure of a protein complex pivotal to the function of motile cilia, the hair-like structures extending from the ...

Engineered fluorescent nanobodies that work inside living cells can label multiple proteins in different colors at once, ...

Human cells are organized across a spatial hierarchy of components, ranging from small protein complexes at the scale of nanometres to large condensates, compartments and organelles at the scale of ...

That means researchers can now use it to better understand how genes function, how diseases start and how to design better treatments. "Every single cell can have a different chromosome structure," ...

Caloric restriction (CR) can extend the organism life- and health-span by improving glucose homeostasis. How CR affects the structure-function of pancreatic beta cells remains unknown. We used single ...

Can the bend of a banana give us insight into cancer? What does the shape of a rice grain have to do with infertility? The proteins that give plants their shape and structure are also involved in ...

A subset of more than 1,000 neurons, representing just a snapshot of the complexity mapped within a cubic millimeter of mouse brain tissue Allen Institute In 1979, biologist Francis Crick claimed it ...
