For years, biomolecular condensates were thought to be simple, liquid-like droplets with little internal organization. New ...

In the rapidly evolving field of drug discovery, single-cell analysis has become an invaluable tool for understanding cellular heterogeneity and molecular pathways. However, traditional single-cell ...

Microtubules are dynamic, tubular polymers composed of αβ-tubulin dimers that form an essential framework within eukaryotic cells. They orchestrate a wide range of cellular functions including ...

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 ...

Your body is made up of trillions of cells, and they are the foundation of everything—from energy levels to digestion, brain function, and movement. When your cells function efficiently, your body ...

A metabolic enzyme studied for over seven decades has a hidden second function—it can unwind RNA and promote cell cycle progression, an additional function beyond its role in energy production, ...

Mitochondria are essential for cell survival, repair, and adaptation. Not only do they generate most of the energy needed ...

Single-cell analysis is a ubiquitous laboratory technique that allows researchers to probe the myriad biomolecular states of cells. Single-cell assays can reveal gene and protein expression patterns, ...

Biobots, whose growing line of variants started with xenobots, are fascinating tiny self-powered living robots built ...

Researchers found that the cells of young adults with depression overproduce energy while resting but struggle to respond to ...

Microtubules perform an active role in communication within the cell by transmitting received signals to the cell's functional units. Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI and the Department ...

Over the past few years, a new class of medications has transformed the treatment of obesity. Drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy and ...
