New tissue-derived organoid model: A next-generation organoid model, composed of three liver cell types – adult hepatocytes, cholangiocytes, and liver mesenchymal cells – reconstructs the liver ...

The liver has a unique structure, especially at the level of individual cells. Hepatocytes, the main liver cells, release ...

The cell cortex is able to contract in response to myosin molecular motors that move on actin filaments. Stronger contractility in one location compared with others results in the deformation of ...

No biological system has been studied by more diverse approaches than the actin-based molecular motor myosin ... support for the swinging cross-bridge model of muscle contraction proposed in ...

Researchers have developed a vascularized organoid model of hormone secreting cells in the pancreas. The advance promises to improve diabetes research and cell-based therapies. Researchers led by ...

How do we think, feel, remember, or move? It all depends on transmission of chemical signals in the brain, carried and released by molecular containers called vesicles. In a new study, researchers ...

How do we think, feel, remember, or move? These processes involve synaptic transmission, in which chemical signals are ...

New research from the Sainsbury Laboratory at the University of Cambridge has shed light on how plants precisely control ...

Biomolecular condensates are distinct molecular communities made of DNA, RNA and proteins that "condense" molecules to key ...

Insulin resistance has a molecular fingerprint, and scientists have just cracked it. In a groundbreaking study, researchers ...

So is it time to add viruses to one's microbiome-feeding regimen of probiotics and prebiotics, synbiotics (which combine the ...
