Our cells rely on microscopic highways and specialized protein vehicles to move everything—from positioning organelles to ...

Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI have developed an AI that could open up a new, cost-effective approach to identifying genetic perturbation patterns in cell images—potentially enabling ...

Rather than being like battery chargers, mitochondria are more like the motherboard of the cell.

Failure of a gene-reading quality-control mechanism called Integrator leaves cells littered with abnormal RNA strands that increase cell stress and may contribute to diseases such as cancer and ...

The nucleus is the double membrane limited structure within an eukaryotic cell that contains the chromosomes, and where the DNA is replicated or transcribed into RNA. The membrane is perforated by ...

The number of protons is what defines the element, i.e. an atom with six protons in its nucleus will always be carbon, and uranium will always have 92 protons. The total number of particles in the ...

A research team at the University of Osaka has identified a crucial brain region involved in motor learning during reaching ...
