A team led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers has uncovered the atomic structure of a protein complex pivotal to the function of motile cilia, the hair-like structures extending from the ...

Researchers have developed synthetic genes that function like the genes in living cells. The artificial genes can build intracellular structures through a cascading sequence that builds ...

Primary cilia are sensory organelles present in many cell types, partaking in various signaling processes. Primary cilia of pancreatic beta cells play pivotal roles in paracrine signaling and their ...

The regulation of cellular functions such as preserving genetic information, producing energy and building blocks, and sending and receiving signals to and from the microenvironment is achieved ...

That means researchers can now use it to better understand how genes function, how diseases start and how to design better treatments. "Every single cell can have a different chromosome structure," ...

In each cell of your body, DNA is stored in structures called chromosomes. When cells divide, these chromosomes are copied, ...

According to the researchers, problems with how cells handle and process cargo are at the root of many genetic diseases. Since the hemifusome plays a role in the management of these cellular processes ...

Engineered fluorescent nanobodies that work inside living cells can label multiple proteins in different colors at once, ...

RNA therapeutics have emerged as one of the most promising new classes of medicines. Eight small interfering RNA (siRNA) ...
