Scientists have long known that cellular membranes vary in thickness, but measuring those differences inside actual cells has ...

Cells naturally process external signals through intricate genetic circuits, enabling the adaptation to diverse environments. These circuits rely on complex, nonlinear interactions among genes and ...

Genoa (Italy), July 24, 2025 – Until today, skin, brain, and all tissues of the human body were difficult to observe in detail with an optical microscope, since the contrast in the image was hindered ...

Scientists have discovered that complex life began evolving much earlier than traditional models suggested. Using an expanded molecular clock approach, the team showed that crucial cellular features ...

Multicolored 3D rendering of a muscle fiber. It looks a bit like a bundle of yarn, with lots of short, aligned strands. A 3D rendering of the proteins in a muscle fiber, captured by cryo-electron ...

Ushikuvirus is a newly identified giant virus that infects amoebas, adding to a growing group of oversized viruses that scientists believe may have played an important role in the emergence of complex ...

Modern day drug discovery is shifting from single end point assays to more complex phenotypic assays that query single cell and population responses to chemicals and genetic manipulation. One such ...
