New progress in a long-standing debate about the nature of biological cell membranes could be made by considering which ...

Nanotube bridge networks grow between the most abundant photosynthetic bacteria in the oceans, suggesting that the world is ...

Living tissue from the memory centers of people’s brains reveals sparse nerve cell connections that provide strong, reliable signaling between cells.

Fighting cancer can seem like a deadly game of chance. While some patients may respond well to certain treatments, others might not be as fortunate. Doctors and scientists have long struggled to ...

Researchers have developed a method to direct stem cells to form specific structures. By triggering the expression of ...

New progress in a long-standing debate about the nature of biological cell membranes could be made by considering which aspects of the membrane can ...

Here the authors study how interactions with nuclear speckles help localize mRNA in cells. They find that modifications of the proteins in these structures affects their cohesion and can modulate ...

Cell biology is the discipline of biological sciences that studies the structure, physiology, growth, reproduction and death of cells. Research in cell biology uses microscopic and molecular tools ...

[1] During the last decades, the use of HEp-2 cells as substrates for IIF has ... Figure 2), the rim-like/membranous (RL/M; Figure 3) and the anticentromere (ACA; Figure 4). ANA in PBC may be ...

Kidney and nerve tissue cells can form memories much like brain cells, one new study has found. Another recent study says that memories of obesity stored in fat tissue may be partly responsible for ...

NIH-funded mouse study provides roadmap for how aging may alter brain cell genetic activity Based on new brain mapping research funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), scientists have ...

A single amino acid change in a neuronal ion channel called KCNQ2 blocks ion flow, prevents protein localization on axons, and results in severe epilepsy and slowed neurological development.
