With the long-term goal of creating living cells from non-living components, scientists in the field of synthetic biology work with RNA origami. This tool uses the multifunctionality of the natural ...

A new part of an ocean plant cell has been discovered that might revolutionize farming one day. The structure can take ...

Cells are in constant competition with each other and so eliminate diseased or unwanted cells. Cell competition is therefore a central principle for maintaining the health of tissues and organs.

structure and interactions of cellular molecules such as nucleic acids and proteins that carry out the biological processes essential for the cell s functions and maintenance. The ...

Scientists have spotted unique subtypes of fat cells in the human body, and by unraveling their functions, they found that the cells may play a role in obesity. "Finding these [fat] subtypes is ...

You, me, and all of the 108 billion or so Homo sapiens who’ve ever walked the Earth have all been our own constellation of some 30 trillion cells. Each of our bodies is a collective organism of ...

Identifying and delineating cell structures in microscopy images is crucial for understanding the complex processes of life. This task is called "segmentation" and it enables a range of ...

Northwestern University researchers have identified structural features in engineered cell receptors that correlate with variations in receptor function. Computational protein structure prediction ...

Here, we review mechanisms of TLS formation and maturation with a specific focus on the emerging importance of tissue injury, programmed cell death and extracellular vesicles in TLS biogenesis. Figure ...

The proposed probabilistic dependencies between these sequence features and antigen specificity are encoded into the network structure by directed edges ... clonal expansion of antigen-specific T ...

Regulation of stem cell fate is best understood at the level of gene and protein regulatory networks, though it is now clear that multiple cellular organelles also have critical impacts. A growing ...
