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 ...

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

A team of researchers led by Anna-Karin Gustavsson at Rice University has developed an innovative imaging platform that promises to improve our understanding of cellular structures at the nanoscale.

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.

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 ...

Researchers have discovered a previously unknown cellular structure, the hemifusome, which has roles in cellular recycling.

The recycled buildings of Rome, long dismissed by architects, are getting a reappraisal as a model for how to reduce waste while creating something fresh. ROME — For centuries, historians and ...

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 ...
