Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the most common type of liver cancer and the third-leading cause of cancer-related deaths ...

Abstract: We introduce a three-dimensional (3-D) parametric active contour algorithm for the shape estimation of DNA molecules from stereo cryo-electron micrographs. We estimate the shape by matching ...

In eusocial superorganisms like leafcutter ant colonies, labor is divvied up according to body shape and size, but University ...

Deep within our nerve cells, a molecule is at work that has no beginning and no end. Instead of a straight chain, as is common for most RNA strands, it forms a closed loop. Known as circular RNAs ...

Spatial metabolomics is transforming our understanding of microbial systems by uncovering the localized molecular dynamics ...

Many signalling pathways have been shown to control cell shape and cell surface mechanics. Recent insights from diverse disciplines point to adhesion and cortical tension as regulators of cell ...

Methane is one of the most powerful greenhouse gases, significantly contributing to global warming. It also affects the ...

Feature The future of archival data storage is tape, more tape, and then possibly glass-based tech, with DNA and other ...

Understanding how molecules interact is central to biology: from decoding how living organisms function to uncovering disease mechanisms and developing life-saving drugs. In recent years, models like ...

Discover how photosynthesis works, the role of chlorophyll, and why this natural process is essential for life on ...

Take a sip of cabernet and your tongue might feel as if it’s being scraped by coarse paper, while another vintage wine may ...
