Microtubules are dynamic, tubular polymers composed of αβ-tubulin dimers that form an essential framework within eukaryotic cells. They orchestrate a wide range of cellular functions including ...

Cells manage a wide range of functions in their tiny package — growing, moving, housekeeping, and so on — and most of those functions require energy. But how do cells get this energy in the first ...

Scientific and technological advances in the health field have contributed to improvements in the quality of life and an increase in life expectancy for the ...

Researchers shifted the focus to the internal properties of the membrane itself, specifically its viscosity, highlighting its critical role in controlling deformation and dynamics during essential ...

Microtubules perform an active role in communication within the cell by transmitting received signals to the cell's functional units. Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI and the Department ...

In the rapidly evolving field of drug discovery, single-cell analysis has become an invaluable tool for understanding cellular heterogeneity and molecular pathways. However, traditional single-cell ...

Receptors are cellular components that trigger internal changes based on external signals. Researchers have built a new synthetic receptor with incredibly broad potential to program cell activity, ...

A team of researchers has developed an innovative imaging platform that promises to improve our understanding of cellular structures at the nanoscale. This platform, called soTILT3D for ...

Residual CFTR function in cystic fibrosis was associated with better glucose tolerance and insulin secretion, with CFTR ...

It’s a cell-eat-cell world out there—and not just for single-celled organisms. Indeed, even people have something of the cannibal in their cells, even cells that have nothing to do with malignancy or ...

Dr Pompa is advancing holistic wellness by introducing a research-driven cellular health and detoxification approach designed to help individuals address root causes of metabolic imbalance and chronic ...

In hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, the capacity to mount a functional virus-specific T-cell response has long been considered the principal, if not the sole, immunological determinant of viral ...
