A new study has uncovered a hidden step that helps the deadliest malaria parasite survive and multiply inside the human body.

How physically magnifying objects using a key ingredient in diapers has opened an unprecedented view of the microbial world.

As we age, our cells don’t just wear down—they reorganize. Researchers found that cells actively remodel a key structure called the endoplasmic reticulum, reducing protein-producing regions while ...

DNA's iconic double helix does more than "just" store genetic information. Under certain conditions it can temporarily fold into unusual shapes.

Unlike virtually every other cell in the human body, the syncytiotrophoblast doesn't have a single nucleus. It has roughly 10 ...

Kris Burkewitz, assistant professor of cell and developmental biology at Vanderbilt University, describes a new way by which cells adapt to the aging process: by actively remodeling the endoplasmic ...

Viruses attack nearly every living organism on Earth. To do so, they rely on highly specialized proteins that recognize and ...

Aircraft wing-shaped structures inside tiny channels produce consistent drug delivery particles at any scale, from small laboratory tests to factory production, while substantially cutting costs.

Sleep loss damages the fatty insulation protecting the nerve cells in our brain, according to a paper published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The research also ...

DNA’s iconic double helix does more than “just” store genetic information. Under certain conditions it can temporarily fold into unusual shapes. Researchers at Umeå University, Sweden, have now shown ...
