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 ...

PROTEUS, a system designed to harness “directed evolution,” can speed the process up by years, or even decades.

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 ...

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 ...

This work, by researchers at Rockefeller University, has been published in Cell. This work could lead to improved treatments for cancer, ones that aren't subject to elimination by the pump. The video ...

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 ...

Our cells move energy and matter to the places it is needed. But how do they do this in real time, and seen from the perspective of a single molecule? Scientists have successfully uncovered new ...

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 newly developed “molecular GPS” to guide immune cells into the brain and kill tumors without harming healthy tissue is the first living cell therapy that can navigate through the body to a specific ...

Molecular structure of tuberculosis efflux pump reveals how bacteria resist key antibiotic by Jeff Hansen, University of Alabama at Birmingham ...
