A central question in molecular biology is how cells protect their chromosomes from damage during repeated cell division. At ...

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

Fowler showed that tropomodulin's function is critical for development of the heart and blood cells, and for proper function of many cells and tissues, including eye lens, neurons in the brain, ...

A Franco-British team of scientists has explored two human proteins recently identified as immune enzymes. Structural studies ...

A new LMU study shows how proteins function reliably even without a stable 3D structure – and the crucial importance not only ...

DNA doesn’t just sit still inside our cells — it folds, loops, and rearranges in ways that shape how genes behave. Researchers have now mapped this hidden architecture in unprecedented detail, showing ...

Life begins with a quiet but precise choreography inside the nucleus. For decades, scientists believed that a newly ...

According to the researchers, problems with how cells handle and process cargo are at the root of many genetic diseases. Since the hemifusome plays a role in the management of these cellular processes ...

Even after decades of peering into cells, biologists are still finding surprises. In a twist, researchers at the University of Virginia and the National Institutes of Health uncovered a new organelle, ...

Lymph nodes are key control centers in the immune system and play an important role in defending the body against infections ...
