It's no coincidence that our bodies feel a little creakier as we age. The trillions of cells that make up our skeleton age too, and some change in ways that weaken the very structure of our bones.

Northwestern University researchers have identified structural features in engineered cell receptors that correlate with variations in receptor function. Computational protein structure prediction ...

University of Cincinnati structural biologists are the first in the world to visualize a key cell protein as part of newly published research from the College of Medicine. ADAM17 enzyme activity is ...

A largely overlooked structure inside our cells may play a crucial role in how the brain forms, offering new insight into developmental disorders and potential therapies. Subscribe to our newsletter ...

An in-vitro study found that resveratrol glucoside reduced senescence-associated cellular changes by altering mitochondrial ...

In a feat aimed at understanding how cells move and creating new ways to shuttle drugs through the body, scientists say they have built a minimal synthetic cell that follows an external chemical cue ...

Can the bend of a banana give us insight into cancer? What does the shape of a rice grain have to do with infertility? The proteins that give plants their shape and structure are also involved in ...

Aging can impair stem cell self-renewal and differentiation through molecular damage, inflammation, and changes in the surrounding tissue environment, contributing to slower repair. Experimental ...

Cancer cells are subjected to high mechanical pressure that leads to a rupture of the nuclear envelope when migrating through narrow tissue structures, as in the case of metastasis. DNA would normally ...
