Cells are highly complex structures, but where does this complexity come from? Self-organization principles combined with simple physical constraints seem to control organelle size, number, shape ...

A model developed by LMU biophysicists demonstrates how biological processes form the convoluted internal architecture of the ...

They argued that since no primitive cells today have any internal membrane structures, it seems very unlikely that a cell would have had these over 1.5 billion years ago.

By tracking the movement of RNA molecules inside the nucleolus using advanced imaging and genomics techniques, the new method ...

In a twist, researchers at the University of Virginia and the National Institutes of Health uncovered a new organelle, dubbed ...

In their study, published in Genes to Cells on March 24, 2025, the researchers elucidated the structure of a novel nucleosome-like particle, which is potentially localized to centromeric regions.

Scientists at the Salk Institute say they have discovered that the Foxp3 protein is essential for creating the unique chromatin architecture of regulatory T cells and, in turn, promoting their ...

The dual-phase interpenetrating architecture was came out from the microstructure of natural materials. Based on the such unique structure, bioinspired P/CCSs was designed and fabricated via 3D ...

Centromeres, specialized regions located at the center of chromosomes, are critical for ensuring proper cell division. During mitosis, centromeres serve as assembly sites for complex protein ...
