Cells manage a wide range of functions in their tiny package — growing, moving, housekeeping, and so on — and most of those functions require energy. But how do cells get this energy in the first ...

Engineered fluorescent nanobodies that work inside living cells can label multiple proteins in different colors at once, ...

When people think about health, they often focus on specific organs like the heart or brain. But many changes related to chronic conditions or ageing begin in the smallest units of your body — your ...

Researchers have built a synthetic-cell platform that can be chemically adjusted in real time, sidestepping a long-standing bottleneck in artificial cell design. The system, based on coacervate ...

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 ...

Networks of protein fibers play important roles in living cells. To understand the dynamical behavior of these networks, ...

A team of researchers has developed an innovative imaging platform that promises to improve our understanding of cellular structures at the nanoscale. This platform, called soTILT3D for ...

Claudia Rückert, Ph.D., is an assistant professor in the Department of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology at the University of Nevada, Reno. She received her bachelor’s degree in biology and master's ...

The cellular changes induced by cold water plunges have been revealed. We’ve all heard about the potential health benefits of cold-water plunges, but what’s actually happening on a cellular level?

Living cells cool much slower than our current understanding of heat conduction can explain, according to new research from the University of Tokyo. Researchers have used two techniques—high-speed ...
