Researchers debunk what science believed about brain cell structure for 100 years, finding axons form repeating pearl-like ...

There are photosynthetic bacteria known as cyanobacteria, and these microbes helped generate the oxygen that paved the way ...

Cells constantly communicate with each other via signaling pathways. Chemical signals come in like messages in a filled-up ...

A system once tied to DNA organization in cyanobacteria has evolved into a structure that shapes the cell itself. This shift ...

The cytoskeleton is far more than a static scaffold—it’s a dynamic, adaptable network that shapes cells, moves cargo, and drives vital processes. From swirling cytoplasmic flows to microtubule ...

Using single-nucleus RNA sequencing, the authors map transcriptional changes in the rat ventral tegmental area following chronic inflammatory pain and acute morphine exposure. Notably, their ...

Target identification is the first and perhaps most critical step in drug discovery and development. Although the human ...

The team used cryo-electron tomography to visualize how forces generated by myosin impact the structure of actin filaments ...

Cyanobacteria—ancient microbes that oxygenated Earth and made complex life possible—are still revealing surprises billions of ...

Photosynthetic bacteria helped shape planet Earth. Among them are cyanobacteria that produced the oxygen in the atmosphere and made complex life possible, captivating scientists for decades. Now, ...

A research team led by Potsdam-based bioinformatician Prof. Dr. Zoran Nikoloski has developed a computational approach and an accompanying tool that enables the detailed analysis and reconstruction of ...
