Scientists have discovered that T cell receptors activate through a hidden spring-like motion that had never been seen before ...

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

Inside every living cell, tiny molecular machines are constantly in motion, shifting shapes, tugging on membranes and ...

Embryos and the uterus exchange molecular signals within the first hour, shaping whether implantation succeeds or fails.

Darwinian evolution says that complex systems arise through numerous successive, slight modifications that benefit the ...

Proteins are among the most important molecular building blocks of life. They are chains of amino acids assembled in our cells by ribosomes, the molecular "protein factories" of our bodies. The ...

This paper presents an important advance in genetically encoded voltage imaging of the developing zebrafish spinal cord in vivo, capturing voltage dynamics in neuronal populations, single cells, and ...

To ensure that protein production in our cells runs smoothly, the protein complex NAC slows down the rate of protein ...

An interactive toolbox for standardizing, validating, simulating, reducing, and exploring detailed biophysical models that can be used to reveal how morpho-electric properties map to dendritic and ...

Scientists discover that muscles repair themselves by moving thousands of internal nuclei, a rapid process that is key after ...

Research reveals why AI systems can't become conscious—and what radically different computing substrates would be needed to ...
