Transport proteins are responsible for the ongoing movement of substrates into and out of a biological cell. However, it is difficult to determine which substrates a specific protein can transport.

The curvature of a surface determines the migration behavior of biological cells. They preferentially move along valleys or grooves while avoiding ridges. These findings gave rise to a model ...

Inside every living cell, proteins and membranes are in constant motion, reshaping, colliding, and flexing as they keep an ...

Researchers from Kyushu University have developed an innovative computational method, called ddHodge, that can reconstruct ...

Encouraged by these results, Dudin, Dey, Guichard, and Hamel launched a close collaboration. Three years later, their work has produced near-encyclopedic insight into hundreds of protist species and ...

The super-small specialized structure has a role recycling material inside our cells, and its discovery could lead to improved treatments for a wide range of diseases. Just as our bodies have organs ...

The story of the cell cycle is often told only through the perspective of the chromosomes as they replicate and then divide. This resource beautifully illustrates the role of the cytoskeleton in that ...

At first glance, biology and quantum technology seem incompatible. Living systems operate in warm, noisy environments full of constant motion—while quantum technology often requires extreme isolation ...

Ever wanted to ride a rollercoaster through the inside of a bacterial cell? Now you can, at least in Minecraft. Researchers from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign created CraftCells – ...
