The newly described microbe represents a world of parasitic, intercellular biodiversity only beginning to be revealed by ...

Research conducted by Toyohashi University of Technology in collaboration with Tohoku University elucidated the fusion process of proteoliposomes with an artificial lipid bilayer and the mechanism ...

Researchers systematically surveyed the entire protein landscape of normal and nutrient-deprived cells to identify which proteins and organelles are degraded by autophagy. The idea of the cell as a ...

The structure of the cell, and its components, have largely been explored through methods such as protein fluorescent imaging and protein biophysical association. Now, researchers have combined ...

Average location of 17 structures, each a different color, inside of a human cell. (Allen Institute Image / Matheus P. Viana et al. ) Our cells are built from smaller structures that specialize in the ...

A cell is fundamentally a container—a vessel that encapsulates life at the most basic level. Many biologists believe ...

In an effort to reveal the inner workings of a protein that serves as a cell’s damage detection system, scientists at Johns ...

Not all fat is the same. Researchers are learning more about how fat stored in different parts of the body can have different impacts on health. They compared fat cells taken from under the skin with ...

Scientists have shown how machinery within immune system T cells responds to outside signals and activates the cells to attack cancerous, infected, or otherwise diseased cells. In just a few years, ...
