E. coli and A. baylyi form intricate flower patterns under the microscope. Microbial communities inhabit every ecosystem on Earth, from soil to rivers to the…
Scientists at Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute have shown that cells from children with NGLY1 deficiency — a rare disorder first described in 2012…
Biologists from The University of Manchester have explained for the first time why having a good night’s sleep really could prepare us for the rigors…
A protein called Sestrin might be responsible for many of the benefits of a good workout. Whether it be a brisk walk around the park…
Despite great efforts in medicine and science, more than 400,000 people worldwide are still dying of malaria. The infectious disease is transmitted by the bite…
Vision is a crucial sense for most animals, and vertebrates have evolved a highly adaptable set of opsin genes that generate light-sensitive pigments to decode…
New interferometry technique has applications for tracking molecules at a cell or tissue scale. The human immunodeficiency virus, or HIV, wages war in our bodies…
Using a new microscopic “fishing” technique, scientists at the Montreal Clinical Research Institute (IRCM) and Université de Montréal have successfully snagged thousands of proteins key…
One of the wonders of cell biology is its symmetry. Mammalian cells have one nucleus and one cell membrane, and most humans have 23 pairs…
New study shows exactly how the manner in which mitochondria divide has remained the same since evolution began. Cellular origin is well explained by the…
Could lead to better treatments, spare patients ones that won’t work. Scientists at the University of Virginia School of Medicine have discovered a strange new…
Certain bacteria can override a defense mechanism of the immune system, so-called programmed cell death, through inhibition of death effector molecules by their outer membranes…
By introducing a chemical cocktail to granulosa cells, researchers in China induced the cells to transform into functional oocytes in mice. Once fertilized, these oocytes…
Researchers at Osaka University used electron cryomicroscopy to solve the structure of an essential component of the bacterial flagellum with unprecedented resolution, with important implications…
Study shows tumors with softer, larger cells at their periphery are more likely to spread; may suggest new route for cancer therapy. Engineers at MIT…
MIT neuroscientists in the lab of Professor Li-Huei Tsai at The Picower Institute for Learning and Memory are studying whether sensory stimulation — light and/or…
Researchers create accurate model of organ scarring using stem cells in a lab. Advance could help identify drugs to eventually treat fibrosis. Every organ in…
