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 ...

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

All life is made up of cells several magnitudes smaller than a grain of salt. Their seemingly simple-looking structures mask the intricate and complex molecular activity that enables them to carry out ...

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 ...

During cell division, adherent animal cells round up to create the precise spatial geometry required for accurate chromosome ...

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 ...
