Research conducted by Toyohashi University of Technology in collaboration with Tohoku University elucidated the fusion process of proteoliposomes with an artificial lipid bilayer and the mechanism ...

Intestinal cells can change specializations during their lives. The BMP signaling pathway – an important communication mechanism between cells – appears to be the driver of these changes. That is wat ...

Researchers have developed artificial cell-like structures using inorganic matter that autonomously ingest, process, and push out material - recreating an essential function of living cells. Their ...

Visualizing cells after editing specific genes can help scientists learn new details about the function of those genes. But ...

Several other proteins in this complex are involved in generating ATP, a fuel that cells use for energy and that drives dynein motion. Together, he said, these findings suggest RS3's components are ...

The molecular signaling systems of complex cells are nothing like simple electronic circuits. The logic governing their operation is riotously complex — but it has advantages. It was a brilliant ...

A team of researchers led by Chandan Sen at the Indiana University School of Medicine, is moving a new nanochip device, which can reprogram skin cells in the body to become new blood vessels and nerve ...

Glial cells are an integral part of the human nervous system. They help support and nourish nerve cells, or neurons. Several types of glial cells exist. Glial cells are the “glue” of the nervous ...

Red blood cells transport oxygen throughout your body, including to vital organs and tissues. They also help your body get rid of carbon dioxide. Too little or too many red blood cells may be ...
