Scientists have uncovered a surprising new way that giant embryonic cells divide—without relying on the classic “purse-string” ring long thought essential for splitting a cell in two. Studying ...

Defect-filled lead-halide perovskites rival silicon solar cells because domain walls inside the material separate and guide charges. Researchers visualized these charge-transport networks using a ...

Biomolecular condensates were long believed to be simple liquid blobs inside cells. Researchers have now uncovered that some are actually supported by fine protein filaments forming an internal ...

Cells rely on biomolecular condensates to coordinate essential biological processes without surrounding membranes.

Cells rely on biomolecular condensates to coordinate essential biological processes without surrounding membranes. These droplet-like dynamic assemblies control the way in which DNA is turned into ...

The cerebral cortex, the brain's outermost region responsible for higher cognitive functions, depends on a highly ordered, layered structure. Its proper development requires newly generated neurons to ...

Researchers discover that the RNA surveillance system NMD and the protein UPF2 are essential for guiding neuronal migration and forming the brain's layered cortex.

Human DNA constantly refolds in 3D space, and these looping dynamics regulate gene expression and cell identity.

The cerebral cortex, the brain’s outermost region responsible for higher cognitive functions, depends on a highly ordered, ...

Never-before-seen 3D reconstructions of human liver tissue have been created at a cellular level. The details obtained by a team of UW Medicine and University of Washington engineers and physicians ...

Opus Genetics targets inherited retinal diseases with one-dose AAV gene augmentations. Read why IRD stock is a Buy.

All cells need to sense and respond to their environment—to know when to activate genes, build proteins and carry out their basic functions. One of the most well-studied cellular responses is how they ...
