One of the most widely accepted models for how cells remember their identity may be incorrect. This is shown in a new study ...
A new LMU study shows how proteins function reliably even without a stable 3D structure—and the crucial importance not only of short sequence motifs, but also of chemical characteristics.
Biobots, whose growing line of variants started with xenobots, are fascinating tiny self-powered living robots built ...
For years, biomolecular condensates were thought to be simple, liquid-like droplets with little internal organization. New ...
The exocyst complex is a highly conserved hetero‐octameric assembly that plays a fundamental role in the tethering of secretory vesicles to the plasma membrane, thereby directing the process of ...
The challenges of connecting molecular changes to tissue structure and highlights the potential of multifractal frameworks to quantify complex biological patterns ...

Christopher H. Contag explores how tissue regeneration involves organized interactions beyond just cell replacement, ...
Five years ago, Nobel laureate Carolyn Bertozzi, PhD, and her team described novel small RNA-glycan conjugates, glycosylated RNAs (glycoRNAs), on the cell surface. These small non-coding RNAs have ...
Vitamin B2 is an essential nutrient that the human body cannot make on its own. Because of this, people must obtain it from the foods they eat. This vitamin, also called riboflavin, is commonly found ...
Stem cells in most organisms typically take cues from adjacent cells. But new research from the Stowers Institute for Medical Research has found that stem cells in the freshwater planarian Schmidtea ...
