Every cell in the human body contains about 2 meters of DNA, roughly the length of a bed. Though too small to see with the naked eye, DNA is intricately organized, allowing it to govern cellular ...

Scientists at Feinberg are reshaping scientific understanding of the cell's tiniest components—structures once thought to be static, now revealed to be dynamic engines of cellular life. As they probe ...

The hippocampus is an important brain region known to support various cognitive (i.e., mental) processes, including the encoding and retrieval of memories, learning, decision-making and the regulation ...

This balancing act allows for the formation of membrane domains -- self-assembling structures that are believed to organize proteins in cell membranes. The work tests and revises a 50-year old ...

National Institutes of Health (NIH) researchers have developed a digital replica of crucial eye cells, providing a new tool for studying how the cells organize themselves when they are healthy and ...

A UNIGE study shows that even a slight overproduction of tubulin, a protein essential for cell structure, is enough to disrupt tissue organization, highlighting the need for tight regulation of ...
