Protein activity can be precisely regulated via subtle changes in temperature using heat-sensitive switches. Underlying this capability is a novel modular design strategy developed by researchers at ...

A new study has uncovered how an exceptionally scarce protein can orchestrate the assembly of large‑scale gene-silencing ...

MIT engineers developed “mini livers” that could be injected into the body and take over the functions of a failing liver.

Cryogenic microscopy at Diamond Light Source enables high-resolution, correlative imaging of cells under near-physiological ...

Many biological functions are regulated by the switching on and off of mechanisms triggered by the matching of a keyhole ...

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 ...

Cells rely on biomolecular condensates to coordinate essential biological processes without surrounding membranes.

Human DNA constantly refolds in 3D space, and these looping dynamics regulate gene expression and cell identity.

Cells rely on biomolecular condensates to coordinate essential biological processes without surrounding membranes. These droplet-like ...

The cerebral cortex, the brain’s outermost region responsible for higher cognitive functions, depends on a highly ordered, ...

Never-before-seen 3D reconstructions of human liver tissue have been created at a cellular level. The details obtained by a team of UW Medicine and University of Washington engineers and physicians ...

Porosome Therapeutics, Inc. (Porosome Therapeutics) today announced the development of novel first-in-class porosome-targeting small molecules and blood brain barrier (BBB) traversing peptide drugs ...
