Thanks to a recent study by researchers at IOCB Prague, it is now possible to monitor processes in living cells more ...

An international group of researchers led by Pompeu Fabra University has discovered the nanomachine that controls ...

Scientists can peer into cells to get a limited view of their activity using microscopes and other tools. However, cells and ...

Septins are a conserved family of GTP-binding proteins that assemble into filamentous structures, earning them recognition as the fourth component of the cytoskeleton alongside actin, microtubules and ...

Scientists have uncovered a new way embryonic cells divide when conventional mechanisms fail. Cell division underpins all ...

A research group has developed new advanced light-controlled tools that enable precise control of proteins in real time in living cells. This groundbreaking research opens doors to new methods for ...

Inositol phosphates are crucial secondary messengers that modulate a wide range of cellular processes, from energy metabolism to gene expression. These molecules, particularly inositol pyrophosphates, ...

UC Davis researchers Gant Luxton, Daniel Starr and Xiangyi Ding have used tiny fluorescent particles to study what is going on inside the cells of Caenorhabditis worms. They found that the cells are ...

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 ...

Cell division is an essential process for all life on earth, yet the exact mechanisms by which cells divide during early embryonic development have remained elusive – particularly for egg-laying ...

This work provides a window into how future drug treatments could target the protein without disrupting other important cellular processes. Such attempts have failed so far, however, often because ...
