Can eating fat be good for us? Some fatty acid molecules actually play a crucial role in maintaining our health and cellular functions. By the early twentieth century, scientists and doctors widely ...

Many diseases arise from the misplacement of proteins in cells. A potential solution to this problem has been developed: small molecules that help displaced proteins catch a ride with other proteins ...

Scientists discover how yellow fever and encephalitis viruses enter human cells, and block them with decoy molecules.

A team of researchers at the Departments of Physical Chemistry and Organic Chemistry of the University of Malaga and The Biomimetic Dendrimers and Photonic Laboratory of the research institute IBIMA ...

Northwestern University scientists have developed the most advanced organoid model for human spinal cord injury to date. In a new study, the research team used lab-grown human spinal cord ...

Scientists have discovered a remarkable way to destroy cancer cells. Stimulating aminocyanine molecules with near-infrared light caused them to vibrate in sync, enough to break apart the membranes of ...

Scientists have transformed RNA, a biological molecule present in all living cells, into a biosensor that can detect tiny chemicals relevant to human health. Research by scientists centers on RNA, a ...

Scientists have long used fluorescent dyes—which emit light—to research cell structures and activities. By attaching fluorescent molecules to a protein, for example, scientists can take images of it ...

Neurites include axons, which are often severed during spinal cord injuries. When axons are cut, communication between ...

This novel hybrid microscope allows for the simultaneous imaging of the full 3D orientation and position of molecules within cells. Researchers from the Marine Biological Laboratory (MA, USA) have ...

Engineered immune cells called CAR-T cells are used in the treatment of cancer. Researchers from Uppsala University have now discovered that CAR molecules can be transferred from the CAR-T cells to ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Aminocyanine molecules are already used in bioimaging as synthetic dyes. Commonly used in low doses to detect cancer, they stay ...
