New research led by the Hudson Institute of Medical Research has shown how a cell recognizes that it is infected with a virus to protect itself and surrounding cells or induce inflammation. The ...

Using simple artificial cells, a research group led by Makito Miyazaki of the RIKEN Center for Integrative Medical Sciences ...

Researchers at the University of Bayreuth, together with colleagues from Freie Universität Berlin and the Leibniz Institute ...

Researechers have developed a synthetic fibre system inspired by the cellular cytoskeleton that protects itself through controlled bundling. The findings open up new avenues for smart, switchable ...

Using simple artificial cells, a research group led by Makito Miyazaki of the RIKEN Center for Integrative Medical Sciences (IMS) in Japan have uncovered fundamental physical principles that govern ...

Keratin helps make that possible. It belongs to a family of proteins known as intermediate filaments, which form durable networks inside cells. Unlike the more dynamic actin cytoskeleton, keratin is ...

In a study published in Nature Communications biophysicists unravel the mystery of how muscles form at the molecular level ...

Cell collectives can self-organize into large-scale flows whose vortical interfaces display universal symmetry across different living systems and appear similar under changes in position, orientation ...
