When oil is dropped in water, the oil droplets stay separate. Cells can also use a system like this to separate or gather ...
New work from UC Davis and the University of Utah shows how the 3D structure of DNA inside a germ cell commits it to develop into a sperm cell. The discovery could improve understanding of fertility ...
Before a cell can divide, it has to precisely duplicate its entire genetic information. However, the DNA in the cell exists ...
A quick, purification-free method was developed by researchers at Institute of Science Tokyo, to capture the detailed 3D structures of flexible sugar molecules. By growing crystals of galectin-10 ...
Researchers have profiled the molecular structure and features of a key part of the deadly Nipah virus. Experiments in cells showe how changes in the viral polymerase -- a protein involved in viral ...
Coenzyme A, a molecule derived from vitamin B5, is vital for metabolism throughout the body. Scientists discovered that most of it resides inside mitochondria, yet how it reached these cellular ...
Researchers have built DNA-based nanodevices that can identify cancer cells, latch onto them, and deliver drugs or ...
