Most of our knowledge of protein structure and function originates from experiments performed with purified proteins resuspended in dilute, buffered solutions. However, most proteins function in ...

The functional significance of the interactions between proteins in living cells to form short-lived quaternary structures cannot be overemphasized. Yet, quaternary structure information is not ...

Researchers have developed a new technique to view living mammalian cells. The team used a powerful laser, called a soft X-ray free electron laser, to emit ultrafast pulses of illumination at the ...

In a landmark simulation, scientists have recreated the full cell cycle of a living cell in four dimensions — three dimensions plus time. Using a highly detailed digital model of a minimal synthetic ...

DNA's iconic double helix does more than "just" store genetic information. Under certain conditions, it can temporarily fold into unusual shapes. Researchers at Umeå University, Sweden, have now shown ...

Characteristics of brain complex structure, classification of biomanufacturing methods, key points of functional reconstruction, and application prospects. Brain, the material foundation of human ...

The value measured by the 3D Cell Explorer is not fluorescence intensity of an exogenous molecule like with most optical microscopes. In contrast, Nanolive’s technology detects the physical refractive ...

A cluster of rat neurons, grown on a chip in a Japanese laboratory, just learned to generate a sine wave on command. Across the Pacific, a team of American engineers wrapped a soft electronic mesh ...
