The cytoskeleton is far more than a static scaffold—it’s a dynamic, adaptable network that shapes cells, moves cargo, and drives vital processes. From swirling cytoplasmic flows to microtubule ...

Proteins are essential molecules in living systems. They move, interact and organize themselves to carry out a wide range of ...

Some of the earliest warning signs of breast cancer risk may be hidden deep within the molecular makeup of breast tissue—long ...

In about one out of every 1,000 pregnancies, the neural tube, a key nervous system structure, fails to close properly.

How does the neural tube close? A new study uses physics-based modeling to reveal the actin "purse-string" mechanism and cellular coordination that prevents spina bifida.

Cells are enveloped by a lipid membrane that gives them structure and provides a barrier between the cell and its environment.

If scientists could shrink themselves to microscopic size and take a journey through the human body—like the submarine crew ...

One of oncology’s biggest challenges is that the same treatment can work well for some patients but fail completely in others. A study published in Nature Communications, from a multi-disciplinary ...

Professor Bo Liu, Department of Plant Biology, holds an Arabidopsis plant while Professor Jawdat Al-Bassam, Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology, holds a model of the augmin protein complex.

Scientists have discovered why ovarian cancer spreads so rapidly through the abdomen. Cancer cells enlist normally protective abdominal cells, forming mixed groups that work together to invade new ...
