How do embryos develop? Why does the cortex of the mammalian brain fold? How do we feel touch at our fingertips? These and ...

Collaboration between researchers at the University of Geneva, Institut de biologie structurale de Grenoble, and the University of Fribourg has shown how lipids and proteins in cell membranes react in ...

Syncell Inc., the nanoscopic proteomics company, today announced the launch of its Synlight-Pure™ Kit, an ...

Our remarkable ability to perform complex tasks—such as thinking, observing, and touch—stems from proteins, the tiny nanometer-sized molecules in the body. Despite decades of research, our ...

Cryogenic optical microscopy uncovers multiple conformations of PIEZO1 in cell membranes, offering atomic-scale insights into how cells sense force. The team focused on PIEZO1, a mechanosensitive ion ...

Researchers from Wuhan University of Science and Technology and the Changchun Institute of Applied Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences have jointly published a paper in Research entitled ...

Protein translocation is an essential, nano-scale dynamic process that facilitates the movement of proteins across cellular ...

Current optical and electron microscopy imaging techniques are not suited for measuring the dynamic characteristics of living microorganisms at tiny scales due to complex sample preparation methods or ...
