One of the most well-studied cellular responses is how they react during times of stress, such as when the temperature gets ...

But how cells coordinate their actions to whip cilia back and forth and where the energy driving this motion comes from has been unclear. To help answer these questions, researchers at UTSW and ...

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 ...

This technology has allowed researchers to study fleeting, ephemeral structures inside cells, which were previously undetectable. By utilizing cryo-electron tomography, the research team was able to ...

A study could open new pathways for understanding how cholesterol influences cell membranes and their receptors, paving the way for future research on diseases linked to membrane organization. A new ...

The story of the cell cycle is often told only through the perspective of the chromosomes as they replicate and then divide. This resource beautifully illustrates the role of the cytoskeleton in that ...

Proteins are essential macromolecules that play a crucial role in virtually all biological processes. They are the building blocks of life, performing a wide range of functions within organisms, from ...

Estrogen is known as an important hormone, and it can control many functions by regulating the activity of hundreds of genes.
