A recent review by Prof. Zhu Bing and Associate Professor Xiong Jun from the Institute of Biophysics of the Chinese Academy ...

Each time a cell divides, a small section of each chromosome's protective cap—the telomere—is worn away. Most cells use an ...

Cornell researchers have found a new and potentially more accurate way to see what proteins are doing inside living cells - using the cells' own components as built-in sensors.

A team from the Institut Curie, Inserm, and CNRS[1] has uncovered a new molecular mechanism, previously unknown, linking ...

Pulsed magnetic field treatment can enhance cell membrane permeability, allowing large molecular substances that normally cannot pass through the cell membrane to enter the cell. This research holds ...

Movement of cells taking place during embryonic development, in patho-physiological conditions or in diseased states (e.g., as a primary mode to generate ...

First author Sangjin Yang explained, "While asymmetry can boost efficiency, it often reduces device lifespan and complicates synthesis." He added, "Our molecular design introduces localized asymmetry ...

Spatial presentations of chemical and mechanical information are key parameters for cell migration. However, previous theoretical and experimental studies focus on probing the mechanisms caused by a ...
