Dysfunctions of the tiny cell processes (primary cilia) of the pancreatic beta cells could be a cause of type 2 diabetes.

Weill Cornell Medicine researchers have determined the full-length structure of a blood pressure-regulating hormone receptor for the first time, uncovering how it functions, which may enable better ...

Special design of the skeletal structure The primary cilia observed in this study originated from both animal and human beta cells. The researchers investigated how the skeletal structure (axoneme ...

Researchers have developed an innovative CAR T-cell therapy to combat glioblastoma, the most common malignant brain tumor in ...

Membraneless organelles, also called biomolecular condensates, are changing how scientists think about protein chemistry, ...

Few questions have captivated humankind more than the origin of life on Earth. How did the first living cells come to exist? How did these early protocells develop the structural membranes necessary ...

In a breakthrough study published in Science on Nov. 15, international researchers have identified mechanisms driving ...

Researchers from the Mattiroli group have found that the way DNA is packaged in cells can directly impact how fast DNA itself ...

Weill Cornell Medicine researchers have determined the full-length structure of a blood pressure-regulating hormone receptor ...

An international team led by the Paul Langerhans Institute Dresden has visualized the structure and function of primary cilia ...

Chromatin as a guide Every day, our cells divide. Each time they need to copy both their DNA and the structure in which the DNA is packed. This packaging, called chromatin, acts as a guide. It tells ...
