Scientists have uncovered a novel mechanism through which skin cells organize and control protein production during ...

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 ...

The upper size limit on cell-penetrating drug molecules may be much higher than medicinal chemists had thought. A research team reports that molecules believed to be much too large to diffuse across ...

New research shows skin cells preload their edges with mRNA and ribosomes, held inactive until injury triggers rapid protein production for repair. The mechanism centers on desmosomes, which recruit ...

Photosynthetic bacteria helped shape Planet Earth. Among them are cyanobacteria that produced the oxygen in our atmosphere ...

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 ...

Photons of light possess linear and angular momentum. This fundamental characteristic is crucial to trapping objects optically using a highly focused laser beam. Using this light feature, the Optical ...

An octopus-shaped nanomachine hijacks tumor ATP leakage to power a self-amplifying cycle of membrane damage, drug delivery, and metabolic collapse in cancer cells.

In a recent study posted to the Research Square* preprint server and under review at Cell Death & Disease, researchers assessed the impact of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) on fibrotic ...
