A team led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers has uncovered the atomic structure of a protein complex pivotal to the function of motile cilia, the hair-like structures extending from the ...

Researchers describe a ridge network on the membrane of B lymphocytes for the first time. Using new microscopic methods in combination with machine learning-based image analysis, researchers from ...

Researchers have developed synthetic genes that function like the genes in living cells. The artificial genes can build intracellular structures through a cascading sequence that builds ...

Ion channels generate electrical impulses produced by living cells. Synthetic ion channels could serve as tools for ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have discovered that the heart's own contractions trigger biological signals that guide the formation of a functional beating heart. Their study in zebrafish ...

At the heart of our cells, a previously unknown structure has just been identified, shedding new light on essential biological mechanisms. This discovery could transform our understanding of certain ...

An essential component of the lymphatic system, the thymus, a pyramid-shaped organ located in the thoracic cavity, is responsible for producing T-cells. For centuries, the thymus was believed to be an ...

A new method developed by scientists could soon make liver disease treatment easier and more effective—without a transplant.
