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 ...

Researchers at UC Merced used fruit flies to uncover a cellular process common to many organisms that could dramatically impact the understanding of cancer and aging. Department of Molecular and Cell ...

Researchers have determined that condensates are electrically charged droplets that can induce voltage changes across the ...

Cyanobacteria, an ancient lineage of bacteria that perform photosynthesis, have been found to regulate their genes using the same physics principle used in AM radio transmission. Cyanobacteria, an ...

Microtubules perform an active role in communication within the cell by transmitting received signals to the cell's functional units. Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI and the Department ...

Process Raman spectroscopy is a commonly used tool for real-time monitoring and control in bioprocessing. This article outlines the role of cultured cells in biologics manufacturing and why developing ...

Scientists have developed a groundbreaking cryo-optical microscopy technique that freezes living cells mid-action, capturing ultra-detailed snapshots of fast biological processes. By rapidly ...

Emily Whitehead made the history books in 2012 when she become the first pediatric patient with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia to be given a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy. After ...
