Scientists have made a breakthrough in the use of human muscle cells to 3D print a small heart pump. Researchers have known how to use genetic manipulation to reprogram adult cells so they will become ...

Northwestern scientists have developed an artificial molecular pump, a device that simulates a mechanism allowing cells to metabolize and store energy. The pump could pave the way for future ...

A new molecular pump capable of pumping other small molecules up an energy gradient has been developed by researchers at Northwestern University in the US. The new pump is very much like the protein ...

If measured from beginning to end, the DNA in our cells is too long to fit into the cell's nucleus, explaining why it must be ...

Their work, said the researchers, may have applications for human cells; it may reveal more about how our cells are formed and shaped, and it could provide insight into mechanical processes and the ...

Scientists have discovered a turbo switch in the vital calcium pump in our body's cells. Researchers discovered that the on-off switch of the pump has a previously unknown third position, which ...

The pumps secrete mycobactin molecules that then tightly bind external iron. The microbial pathogen then uses other molecular machinery to carry the mycobactins and their iron cargoes back into ...

Cancer cells, in particular, have a reputation for defiantly expelling the chemotherapy drugs meant to kill them.

In a recent study, researchers leveraged molecular jackhammering on cells induced by single-photon NIR light. They found that turning on the vibronic mode of aminocyanines connected to the cell ...

A new study has looked at the molecular mechanisms underlying hair growth and found that aging or senescent cells may be key to promoting hair growth in humans. Their findings potentially open the ...

Molecular structure of tuberculosis efflux pump reveals how bacteria resist key antibiotic by Jeff Hansen, University of Alabama at Birmingham edited by Sadie Harley, reviewed by Robert Egan ...
