Even after decades of research, biologists are still uncovering surprises about the human body. A team of researchers from ...

Oregon Health & Science University, in collaboration with Oregon State University, has discovered the structural organization and protein components of a lipid-transfer complex known as LPD-3 ...

Identifying and delineating cell structures in microscopy images is crucial for understanding the complex processes of life.

Wood is a highly ordered arrangement of living, dying and dead cells. Here is a briefing on how tree cells grow and function structurally.

New progress in a long-standing debate about the nature of biological cell membranes could be made by considering which aspects of the membrane can be captured in simplified simulations.

Think back to that basic biology class you took in high school. You probably learned about , those little “organs” inside cells that form compartments with individual functions. For example ...

Tiny clumps of cells show basic cognitive abilities, and some animals can remember things after losing their head ...

To get closer to the brain’s true structure, researchers can instead coax a bunch of stem cells to organize themselves into 3D tissues called organoids —but can’t fully control how they grow.

Technology DeepMind's protein-folding AI cracks biology's biggest problem Artificial intelligence firm DeepMind has transformed biology by predicting the structure of nearly all proteins known to ...

Scientists have mapped the nuclear pore complex, revealing its structure and role in disease, paving the way for new research and treatments. Many of us learned the basic cell structure at some point ...

In 1963, Popular Science reported on the Nobel Prize-winning discovery, and Rosalind Franklin⁠—the woman who was left out of the accolades.
