Scientists have discovered a mysterious new structure lurking inside every human cell. These tiny structures, dubbed ...

The glycocalyx surrounds each cell in the human body like a coat. This complex sugar layer plays a key role in the ...

"We know each of the proteins that exist in our cells, but how they fit together to then carry out the function of a cell still remains largely unknown across cell types," said Leah Schaffer, Ph.D ...

Yeast cells are widely used to study G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), a large group of cell surface proteins in humans. However, several of these proteins lose their function when introduced ...

Inside each cell of the human body are proteins that control which genes are expressed at the right place and time. However, ...

A newly published atlas offers the most detailed maps yet of the location, structure, and, in some cases, function of more than 3,000 types of brain cells.

In 2020 biologist Michael Levin and his colleagues reported that they had made “biological robots” by shaping clusters of cells into tiny artificial forms that could “walk” around on ...

"The transplant of human brain organoids into living brains is a novel method for advancing organoid development and function," the latest paper reads, as quoted by the SCMP.
