For years, biomolecular condensates were thought to be simple, liquid-like droplets with little internal organization. New ...
Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. A new discovery inside your cells may change how scientists understand disease and design future treatments. Researchers have ...
Before cells can divide by mitosis, they first need to replicate all of their chromosomes, so that each of the daughter cells can receive a full set of genetic material. Scientists have until now ...
The beta cells of the pancreas are responsible for releasing the hormone insulin, which is vital for the absorption of glucose from the bloodstream. Various factors can impair the ability of these ...
A simulated cell in the early stages of division. Left half shows membrane (green cubes), and ribosomes (yellow/purple) ...
With the long-term goal of creating living cells from non-living components, scientists in the field of synthetic biology work with RNA origami. This tool uses the multifunctionality of the natural ...
