A robust platform for analyzing 3D genome architecture and epigenomic features enables a deeper understanding of gene regulation in specific cell types. Researchers analyze various aspects of gene ...

The cell nucleus is considered to be the control center of vital cellular processes, but its material properties continue to puzzle scientists. An international research team has now developed a new ...

Cells contain various specialised structures - such as the nucleus, mitochondria or peroxisomes - known as “organelles’’. Tracing their genesis and determining their structure is fundamental to ...

Biology textbooks may need a revision, say Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists, who present new evidence that an armlike structure of mammalian brain cells may be a different shape than scientists have ...

A study could open new pathways for understanding how cholesterol influences cell membranes and their receptors, paving the way for future research on diseases linked to membrane organization. A new ...

Bitter taste receptors are not only expressed in oral cavity cells but also in the gastrointestinal lining. To understand the diverse functions of these receptors, understanding the structure is ...

The story of the cell cycle is often told only through the perspective of the chromosomes as they replicate and then divide. This resource beautifully illustrates the role of the cytoskeleton in that ...

Understanding cell structure and mechanisms requires data analysis from various imaging systems and modalities that all use different file formats. Each experimental setup can generate a unique ...
