How physically magnifying objects using a key ingredient in diapers has opened an unprecedented view of the microbial world.

Proteins are the molecular machines of cells. They are produced in protein factories called ribosomes based on their ...

Protein folding helpers such as TRiC and prefoldin (PFD) are crucial for the correct folding of many essential proteins. In a Nature study, researchers from the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry ...

For the first time, researchers have directly visualized how newly formed cellular organelles leave the endoplasmic reticulum ...

The behaviour of a receptor protein can be influenced by the presence of certain lipids in the membrane it is embedded in.

Despite lacking a hippocampus entirely—and having diverged from the mammalian lineage roughly 400 million years ago—larval zebrafish display remarkably precise spatial navigation. Even in small ...

In A Nutshell As cells age, they deliberately shrink a major internal structure called the endoplasmic reticulum. This downsizing happens early in adulthood and shifts cells away from protein ...

The team have pushed the boundaries of quantum mechanics beyond what some thought possible. Now they want to go even further ...

Living organisms are made up of hundreds of thousands of cells that cooperate to create the organs and systems that breathe, eat, move, and think. Now, researchers from Japan have developed a new way ...

Bridging basic science and application, this postdoc develops living technologies for health and sustainability.
