For years, biomolecular condensates were thought to be simple, liquid-like droplets with little internal organization. New ...

In a landmark simulation, scientists have recreated the full cell cycle of a living cell in four dimensions — three ...

Velia Fowler (standing), chair of the Department of Biological Sciences and pioneering researcher in the architecture of cells, examines F-actin and other proteins in the structure of red blood cells ...

Can the bend of a banana give us insight into cancer? What does the shape of a rice grain have to do with infertility? The proteins that give plants their shape and structure are also involved in ...

For the first time, high-resolution time-lapse videos of tiny bits of living plants show how they assemble their protective cell walls, researchers report March 21 in Science Advances. The image ...

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 ...

For successful cell division, chromosomal DNA needs to be packed into compact rod-shaped structures. Defects in this process can lead to cell death or diseases like cancer. A new study has shown how ...

A new study by Rice University researchers led by Jason Hafner could open new pathways for understanding how cholesterol influences cell membranes and their receptors, paving the way for future ...
