Researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) have implemented an advanced microscopy technique to visualize multiple ...

The research group of prof. Sanjiv Luther at the department of immunobiology of the University of Lausanne has discovered ...

Inside every cell, a cleanup operation runs around the clock. Proteins are constantly damaged by wear and tear. Some can be repaired, while others must be dismantled and recycled. When this system ...

Multicolored 3D rendering of a muscle fiber. It looks a bit like a bundle of yarn, with lots of short, aligned strands. A 3D rendering of the proteins in a muscle fiber, captured by cryo-electron ...

Chara corallina myosin XI (CcXI) drives the movement of actin filaments, which spontaneously form ring-like structures due to a slight curvature that leads to polar alignment. Living cells are highly ...

Combining hyperspectral imaging and AI, this research identifies oxidative stress in red blood cells, paving the way for ...

Scientists at the University of Lausanne have identified a specialized fibroblast subtype that directs cytotoxic T lymphocytes to key positions within lymph nodes, enabling effective immune responses ...

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 ...

The kinocilium of vestibular hair cells is a unique organelle with molecular features of primary and motile cilia and may serve as an active, force-generating element within the hair bundle.

This article was originally featured on Knowable Magazine. More than 1.5 billion years ago, a momentous thing happened: Two small, primitive cells became one. Perhaps more than any event—barring the ...
