Researchers have revealed how bacteria precisely control the genes that trigger cell division. The study shows that the MraZ protein, which normally forms a donut-shaped structure, must bend and ...

Crystal jellyfish have an eerie beauty: thanks to a natural protein, they emit a faint green glow. For decades, researchers ...

Proteins, one of the smallest building blocks of life on Earth, hold promise for answering some of biology's biggest ...

One of the most widely accepted models for how cells remember their identity may be incorrect. This is shown in a new study ...

This article explores how advanced immune imaging technologies enable real-time visualization of immune responses, improving understanding of inflammation, autoimmunity, cancer therapy outcomes, and ...

For years, biomolecular condensates were thought to be simple, liquid-like droplets with little internal organization. New ...

A recent study by Fred Hutch biochemist Christopher Lapointe, PhD, and his colleagues, uses innovative lab techniques to ...

The brain's ability to do everything from forming memories to coordinating movement relies on its cells producing the right proteins at the right time. But directly measuring this protein production, ...

Scientists have built atom-sized pores that act like living ion channels, opening the door to next-generation nanotech.

When a virus infects a bacterial cell, the viral genome is the first component to be fully injected into the cell, making it an ideal immune target. A bacterial enzyme anchored to the membrane ...

KU Leuven Center for Cancer Biology, in collaboration with the Francis Crick Institute, has discovered how cancer cells can exploit healthy lung cells to support metastatic tumor growth in the lungs.
