The new research reveals a novel mechanism for signal transmission in brain cells and helps answer an open question in neuroscience about how intracellular signals travel over long distances in ...

Collagen, the body's most abundant protein, has long been viewed as a predictable structural component of tissues. However, a new study challenges that notion, revealing an unexpected confirmation in ...

Engineering researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) have achieved breakthroughs in multi-material ...

Chronic stress is linked to a weakened immune system and increased cancer diagnosis risk, though psychological factors alone ...

MIT chemists found a new way to determine 3D genome structures, using generative AI, that can predict thousands of genome structures in minutes, making it much speedier than existing methods for ...

In living organisms, protein molecules with different chemical structures called proteoforms, are produced from a single gene ...

Tonic-clonic seizures are the type of epileptic seizure most people recognise. In the past they were called grand-mal seizures. Tonic-clonic seizures can have a generalised onset, meaning they affect ...

These interactions control important processes such as cell growth, division and gene ... we've learned and the toolkit we've built can be generalized to other systems, like humans.

Eating foods high in key nutrients, including iron, folic acid, and vitamin B12, and limiting alcohol may help increase your red blood cell count. Red blood cells are the most common cells in ...

In a recent study, scientists have introduced an innovative imaging technique that provides an unparalleled view of the bone marrow’s intricate structure, focusing on leptin receptor-expressing (LepR+ ...

The old paradigm was all about how molecules pass information around the cell by getting together via selective interactions tightly encoded into their structure. Condensates undermine this view.
