Researchers at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) have created the world's simplest artificial cell capable ...

Each cell in our bodies carries about two meters of DNA in its nucleus, packed into a tiny volume of just a few hundred cubic ...

Apart from carrying the information to encode proteins in, RNA molecules can adopt intricate 2D and 3D structures. Specifically, the same RNA molecule can switch between ON and OFF structures, ...

Scientists have twisted DNA into programmable nanostructures that form themselves — and could reshape future materials for light, sound, and electronics.

Immune responses rely on the efficient movement of immune cells within the complex and geometrically unpredictable three-dimensional tissues that make up our bodies.

Researchers at ChristianaCare’s Helen F. Graham Cancer Center & Research Institute and the University of Delaware have uncovered what could be a biological “instruction manual” for how ...

The human body undergoes a daily replacement of billions of cells, but the tissues remain flawlessly organized. How can that be?

Advanced light microscopy techniques have come into their own — and are giving scientists a new understanding of human biology and what goes wrong in disease ...

Researchers in China, specifically from Tongji University and the National Center of Technology Innovation for Fuel Cell, have come up with a surprisingly simple yet effective way to boost PEM fuel ...

All-polymer solar cells (all-PSCs) have shown good potential for achieving balanced power conversion efficiency (PCE) and operational stability. However, precise control of the morphology remains ...

A previously unknown structure discovered in our cells could pave the way toward new treatments for various genetic disorders. The existence of the organelle—which has been dubbed the ...
