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 ...

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 ...

According to the researchers, problems with how cells handle and process cargo are at the root of many genetic diseases. Since the hemifusome plays a role in the management of these cellular processes ...

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 ...

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 ...

Cells rely on biomolecular condensates to coordinate essential biological processes without surrounding membranes. These droplet-like dynamic assemblies control the way in which DNA is turned into ...

A groundbreaking study published in Research (2025, DOI: 10.34133/research.0545) has elucidated the molecular mechanisms by which protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) regulates CD8+ T cell-mediated immune ...

Short-term IF boosts glucose homeostasis, but prolonged fasting in adolescence may impair β cell maturation—potentially linking chronic IF to type 1 diabetes risk. Study: Chronic intermittent fasting ...

A proposed function of TADs is to contribute to gene regulation by promoting chromatin interactions within a TAD and by suppressing interactions between TADs. Here, we directly probe the ...
