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

Inside every human cell, a tiny structure called a lysosome acts like a recycling center, breaking down toxic waste, clearing ...

When oil is dropped in water, the oil droplets stay separate. Cells can also use a system like this to separate or gather materials, encouraging various reactions and processes to occur. Scientists ...

Biomolecular condensates were long believed to be simple liquid blobs inside cells. Researchers have now uncovered that some are actually supported by fine protein filaments forming an internal ...

A largely overlooked structure inside our cells may play a crucial role in how the brain forms, offering new insight into developmental disorders and potential therapies. In a study published in Cell ...

Scientists found that aging may begin with a hidden cellular remodel that could help drive disease later in life.

Orientational order is important for both liquid crystals and cell assemblies, and experimental and computational techniques ...

A project at Rice University has developed a novel approach to nanoscale cellular imaging, one that could lead to improved knowledge of subcellular structures. Reported in Nature Communications, the ...

Water deficit resistance in plants has long been a topic of interest for cultivating reliable crops. Some plants can alter their above-ground structure to lock in moisture, while others develop deep, ...
