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 ...

A recent study published in Cell Death & Disease suggests that specific cellular abnormalities in the brain associated with ...

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 ...

In an effort to reveal the inner workings of a protein that serves as a cell's damage detection system, scientists at Johns Hopkins and the Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich (LMU) have published ...

A team of researchers has developed an innovative imaging platform that promises to improve our understanding of cellular structures at the nanoscale. This platform, called soTILT3D for ...

Biomedical research typically follows a familiar path: developing treatments that block, enhance or mutate certain signaling pathways, genes or proteins to change the function of different cells in ...

Researchers at the University of Twente and Utrecht University have packed rigid, rod-shaped particles into soft lipid ...

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have characterized how cellular senescence—a biological process in which aging cells change how they function—is associated with human brain ...

Biomedical engineers at Duke University have developed a novel imaging system that harnesses the power of artificial intelligence to visualize individual retinal cells better than more expensive ...

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 ...
