Centromeres, specialized regions located at the center of chromosomes, are critical for ensuring proper cell division. During mitosis, centromeres serve as assembly sites for complex protein ...

This development in solar cell research could profoundly impact global energy markets and help accelerate the shift towards renewable energy sources, the CityUHK teams said, while the next phase of ...

To study the impact of the nanoscale structure on the cell uptake and stability, nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC) consisting of the solid lipid (i.e., high melting lipid─solid at room and body ...

Clustering of the single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) transcriptome profiles is able to identify cell types, which is beneficial to improve the understanding of disease progression. However, in practice, ...

UCSF scientists have been awarded more than $30 million to develop “tissue GPS,” a new system using engineered T cells to guide therapies directly to their targets in the brain to treat neurological ...

Cell delivery using magnetic microswimmers is a promising tool for targeted therapy. However, it remains challenging to rapidly and uniformly manufacture cell-loaded microswimmers that can be ...

Human bodies make 2 million red blood cells per second. They each live for 120 days and spend that time zooming completely around the body every 20 seconds, carrying oxygen from the lungs to other ...

Proteins are the key molecular machines that orchestrate all biological processes of the cell. Most proteins fold into three-dimensional shapes that are critical for their function. Studying the 3D ...
