A new imaging approach is shedding light on one of cell biology’s most elusive questions: how lipids are organized and sorted within membranes.

The exocyst complex is a highly conserved hetero‐octameric assembly that plays a fundamental role in the tethering of secretory vesicles to the plasma membrane, thereby directing the process of ...

In a major advance applying insights from quantum physics to the inner workings of biology, a team of WashU researchers has ...

In a first-of-its-kind study, researchers demonstrate that functional nervous systems can form within self-organized living ...

For years, biomolecular condensates were thought to be simple, liquid-like droplets with little internal organization. New ...

Aging does not arrive all at once. It builds quietly across years, touching cells long before symptoms appear.

KU Leuven Center for Cancer Biology, in collaboration with the Francis Crick Institute, has discovered how cancer cells can ...

Cellular health plays a crucial role in your overall well-being. On average, the human body has between 30-40 trillion cells of various types and with various functions. The healthier your cells are, ...

Five years ago, Nobel laureate Carolyn Bertozzi, PhD, and her team described novel small RNA-glycan conjugates, glycosylated RNAs (glycoRNAs), on the cell surface. These small non-coding RNAs have ...

Biobots, whose growing line of variants started with xenobots, are fascinating tiny self-powered living robots built ...
