Engineered fluorescent nanobodies that work inside living cells can label multiple proteins in different colors at once, ...

Cells manage a wide range of functions in their tiny package — growing, moving, housekeeping, and so on — and most of those functions require energy. But how do cells get this energy in the first ...

New research from the Snow Center for Immune Health is challenging long-held assumptions about autoimmune disease, revealing ...

When people think about health, they often focus on specific organs like the heart or brain. But many changes related to chronic conditions or ageing begin in the smallest units of your body — your ...

Researchers have built a synthetic-cell platform that can be chemically adjusted in real time, sidestepping a long-standing bottleneck in artificial cell design. The system, based on coacervate ...

A team of researchers led by Dr. Kim V. Narry, director of the Center for RNA Research at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS), has uncovered a key cellular mechanism that affects the function of ...

Within the past decade, biologists have discovered that one strategy cells use to keep their contents organized is a ...

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 ...

Networks of protein fibers play important roles in living cells. To understand the dynamical behavior of these networks, ...
