Scientists have long known that cellular membranes vary in thickness, but measuring those differences inside actual cells has been out of reach. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest sci-tech ...
Proteins long known to be essential for hearing have been hiding a talent: they also act as gatekeepers that shuffle fatty ...
A surprising new function of essential hearing proteins may explain why some genetic mutations and common antibiotics lead to permanent deafness.
Mitochondria are essential for cell survival, repair, and adaptation. Not only do they generate most of the energy needed ...
(Nanowerk News) Drawing inspiration from natural sensory systems, an MIT-led team has designed a novel sensor that could detect the same molecules that naturally occurring cell receptors can identify.
