The functions of biomolecules, including lipids, nucleic acids and especially proteins are determined to a great extent by their structure. This structure–function relationship is a foundation of many ...

For years, biomolecular condensates were thought to be simple, liquid-like droplets with little internal organization. New research overturns that view, revealing that some condensates are built from ...

In a recent study published in the journal Nature, a large team of researchers from the United States (U.S.) used single-cell ribonucleic acid (RNA) sequencing combined with high-resolution ...

A research team at Kumamoto University has developed a deep learning-based method for analyzing the cytoskeleton—the structural framework inside cells—more accurately and efficiently than ever before.

The list below offers a representative sample of the courses you can expect in the study of cellular and molecular biology at DePauw. From theoretical foundations to practical experiences, these ...

Researchers shifted the focus to the internal properties of the membrane itself, specifically its viscosity, highlighting its critical role in controlling deformation and dynamics during essential ...

Scientists at the Babraham Institute have developed a method to “time jump” human skin cells by 30 years, turning back the cellular aging clock without losing specialized cellular function.

RNA in cells performs an astounding number of functions. Messenger RNA carries the sequences of active genes to cellular machinery that turns it into proteins. And transfer RNA molecules are an ...

Prior to using this narrative, have learners create their own model of a cell in their notebooks using whatever background information or experience they might have. While exploring the narrative, ...

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 ...
