The Trade-off Between Physiological Authenticity and Experimental Convenience: Navigating the Cellular Foundation of ...

Activated by quarter-second-long light pulses, the molecular machines allowed scientists to control calcium signaling in a cardiac myocyte cell culture, causing the inactive cells to fire. "The ...

Proteins are the molecular machines of cells. They are produced in protein factories called ribosomes based on their blueprint—the genetic information. Here, the basic building blocks of proteins, ...

Ribosomes, the cell's protein-making factories, consume large amounts of energy as they build the proteins that keep cells ...

When viruses infect the body’s cells, those cells face a difficult problem. How can they destroy viruses without harming themselves? Scientists at University of Utah Health have found an answer by ...

There are many differences that help us distinguish healthy cells from cancerous cells—from shape to growth to signaling. Another way is by their pH. The pH in a cancerous cell is not the same as the ...

Tiny “living machines” made of frog cells can replicate themselves, making copies that can then go on to do the same. This newly described form of renewal offers insights into how to design biological ...

According to the developer, the OmniVance ™ cell can reduce the time spent on repetitive machine tending tasks by up to 60%, freeing workers to take on more rewarding, high-value jobs. “Machine ...

Imagine predicting the exact finishing order of the Kentucky Derby from a still photograph taken 10 seconds into the race. That challenge pales in comparison to what researchers face when trying to ...

When viruses infect the body's cells, those cells face a difficult problem. How can they destroy viruses without harming themselves? Scientists at University of Utah Health have found an answer by ...

(Nanowerk News) One of the main ways cells “talk” to each other to coordinate essential biological activities such as muscle contraction, hormone release, neuronal firing, digestion and immune ...
