Organelles in cells were originally often independent cells, which were incorporated by host cells and lost their ...

Piercing the nucleus of a cell without destroying it seems like a technical feat. Yet, researchers have just found a non-invasive method that could revolutionize gene therapies. A series of ...

A growing body of work suggests that cell metabolism — the chemical reactions that provide energy and building materials — ...

A new part of an ocean plant cell has been discovered that might revolutionize farming one day. The structure can take ...

Just as cities must carefully manage the flow of cars in and out of downtown, cells regulate the movement of molecules into ...

But the type of a cell is determined by patterns of expression of that genome. The cell’s nature is shaped by which proteins ...

Read the paper: Overlapping nuclear import and export paths unveiled by two-colour MINFLUX In organisms that have cells with a nucleus, DNA is stored in this compartment, which is surrounded by a ...

In a novel theory, scientists at Arizona State University's Biodesign Institute propose a unifying explanation for the molecular chaos driving Alzheimer's disease. The condition causes widespread ...

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is known to cause DNA damage, and while that damage may accumulate and eventually lead to diseases ...

In a surprising turn of events, an international team of scientists has found that lead-208 (208 Pb), the heaviest known "doubly magic" nucleus, exhibits unexpected shape characteristics that ...
