It's no coincidence that our bodies feel a little creakier as we age. The trillions of cells that make up our skeleton age too, and some change in ways that weaken the very structure of our bones.

Northwestern University researchers have identified structural features in engineered cell receptors that correlate with variations in receptor function. Computational protein structure prediction ...

A nerve cell resembles a vast tree with branches that communicate with thousands of other cells. To function, it depends on a ...

In a polymer model of chromatin that explicitly incorporates different types of transcription factors, both specialised and mixed factories emerge naturally, with their composition governed by their ...

An international research team led jointly by the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG), the University of Göttingen and the University of Western Ontario in London, Canada, has shown that nerve ...

Scientists say they have built a cell from scratch for the first time that feeds, grows and replicates like a natural cell, a breakthrough in synthetic biology.

Professor Bo Liu, Department of Plant Biology, holds an Arabidopsis plant while Professor Jawdat Al-Bassam, Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology, holds a model of the augmin protein complex.

A new research paper was published in Volume 18 of Aging on July 6, 2026, titled "Inhibition of peroxisomal protein PRX-11 ...

This research reveals for the first time that selective upregulation of ROCK2 in liver endothelial cells and perivascular hepatic stellate cells serves as a core mechanism driving the progression of ...
