A newly identified virus–cell hybrid structure allows viruses to spread faster and more aggressively by hitching a ride on ...

This technology has allowed researchers to study fleeting, ephemeral structures inside cells, which were previously undetectable. By utilizing cryo-electron tomography, the research team was able to ...

The human genome is no longer just a sequence to be read. It’s a dynamic structure that twists, folds, and reshapes itself in ...

Prior to using this narrative, have learners create their own model of a cell in their notebooks using whatever background information or experience they might have. While exploring the narrative, ...

A team led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers has uncovered the atomic structure of a protein complex pivotal to the function of motile cilia, the hair-like structures extending from the ...

In a recent study published in the journal Nature, a large team of researchers from the United States (U.S.) used single-cell ribonucleic acid (RNA) sequencing combined with high-resolution ...

- Professors Hao F. Zhang and Xiaomin Bao’s groups used super-resolution imaging on human skin cells for the first time. - The researchers explored the gateways between the cells’ cytoplasm and ...

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 ...

These genes are part of the non-coding genome, which makes up about 98% of our DNA and was long dismissed as “junk.” This new ...

Closely related subtypes of dopamine-releasing neurons may play entirely separate roles in processing sensory information, ...
