‘Tiny biological batteries’ can change the cell membrane’s electrical properties – a discovery that has big implications for health, as many essential cellular processes hinge upon precise electrical ...

Research by the Stanford University School of Medicine professor revealed how newly formed strings of amino acids fold into complex three-dimensional shapes. Robert “Buzz” Baldwin, Early Expert in ...

The cells in our bodies move in groups during biological processes such as wound healing and tissue development – but because of resistance, or viscosity, those cells can’t just neatly glide past each ...

Corneal transplantation using donor tissue is currently the primary treatment for corneal endothelial insufficiency. Despite the potential for vision restoration through corneal transplantation, there ...
