Most human diseases can be traced to malfunctioning parts of a cell — a tumor is able to grow because a gene wasn’t accurately translated into a particular protein or a metabolic disease arises ...

Research conducted by Toyohashi University of Technology in collaboration with Tohoku University elucidated the fusion process of proteoliposomes with an artificial lipid bilayer and the mechanism ...

Average location of 17 structures, each a different color, inside of a human cell. (Allen Institute Image / Matheus P. Viana et al. ) Our cells are built from smaller structures that specialize in the ...

Proteins in the cell can form tiny liquid droplets that act as a smart molecular glue, discover researchers. Clinging to the ends of filaments called microtubules, this smart liquid ensures the ...

Recycling takes place in our cells at all times: in a process called autophagy, cell components that are no longer needed are enclosed by membranes and broken down into their basic building blocks.

Artificial intelligence-based technique reveals previously unknown cell components that may provide new clues to human development and disease. Most human diseases can be traced to malfunctioning ...
