Researchers have shown that the formation of biological condensates affects cellular activity far beyond their immediate vicinity. The results show that they may be a previously missing mechanism by ...

Cells organize their molecules into distinct functional areas. While textbooks usually refer to membrane-bound organelles ...

Lipid molecules form the membranes that organize cellular biochemistry in all domains of life. Imaging approaches have been developed to visualize different types of lipid at subcellular scales and ...

Scientists have uncovered new details about how cells manage the distribution of lipids in their cell membrane. These lipids, known as phospholipids, are arranged in a bilayer of membranes, regulating ...

Precise methods for shredding or repairing and replacing specific cancer-causing proteins in a malignant cell, developed at ...

Human cells are extremely small and tightly packed – at about 20 micrometers across, ...

TO TRAP A SNAP: In their paper, Thomas Söllner and his colleagues assigned functions to previouslly identified components of a transport pathway between various cellular compartments. Vesicles, ...

Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis have a unique resource in the form of the Center for Biomolecular ...

Three Ohio State researchers earned the NAI fellow, the highest distinction awarded to inventors for their work in various fields. Dehua Pei, a professor in chemistry and biochemistry, was elected to ...

Researchers have for the first time characterized a unique molecular mechanism of the early stages of programmed cell death or apoptosis, a process which plays a crucial role in prevention of cancer.
