A team of researchers at Åbo Akademi University in Finland made a surprising discovery. They found that Talin-1, a protein ...

After all, there must have been a time when the ancestor of eukaryotes did not possess a nucleus; the question is whether that cell possessed a mitochondrion or not.

A complex molecular machine, the spliceosome, ensures that the genetic information from the genome, after being transcribed ...

Mysterious Blobs Found inside Cells Are Rewriting the Story of How Life Works Tiny specks called biomolecular condensates are ...

A kidney cancer cell nucleus is studded with aberrant nuclear speckles (orange). Normal healthy cells tend to have the speckles clustered toward the middle. Image credit: Kate Alexander (Cold Spring ...

The Brandeis Molecular and Cell Biology (MCB) Program offers a uniquely collaborative, nurturing, supportive and close-knit community conducting internationally recognized research at the frontiers of ...

I engineered HeLa cells to produce copious amounts of these fusion proteins, and watched where they went. Most migrated to the nucleolus, as expected, but one protein steadfastly refused. Instead, it ...

The new atlas shows the types of cells in fat tissue and their functions but doesn’t clarify if the differences cause ...

Nucleus, cell membrane, cytoplasm and mitochondria ... I cut and sell meat over the counter to the public. Biology was probably my favourite subject funnily enough. I've always been fascinated ...
