Engineered fluorescent nanobodies that work inside living cells can label multiple proteins in different colors at once, ...

When cells experience sudden physical stress, like stretching or pressure, they can activate a fast, protective mechanism ...

When oil is dropped in water, the oil droplets stay separate. Cells can also use a system like this to separate or gather materials, encouraging various reactions and processes to occur. Scientists ...

Water deficit resistance in plants has long been a topic of interest for cultivating reliable crops. Some plants can alter their above-ground structure to lock in moisture, while others develop deep, ...

Scientists found that aging may begin with a hidden cellular remodel that could help drive disease later in life.

Orientational order is important for both liquid crystals and cell assemblies, and experimental and computational techniques ...

A largely overlooked structure inside our cells may play a crucial role in how the brain forms, offering new insight into developmental disorders and potential therapies. In a study published in Cell ...

University of Cincinnati structural biologists are the first in the world to visualize a key cell protein as part of newly ...

Biomolecular condensates were long believed to be simple liquid blobs inside cells. Researchers have now uncovered that some are actually supported by fine protein filaments forming an internal ...

A project at Rice University has developed a novel approach to nanoscale cellular imaging, one that could lead to improved knowledge of subcellular structures. Reported in Nature Communications, the ...
