When model cell membranes bind to biomaterials, it is not the binding strength but the speed of the receptors in the ...

In human cells, there are about 20,000 genes on a two-meter DNA strand—finely coiled up in a nucleus about 10 micrometers in ...

The new model addresses the challenge of identifying novel small molecules that meet multiple product criteria, an essential requirement for pharma and agriculture applications In both pharma and ...

When proteins are made in a cell, they start out as strings of amino acids, which have to be folded into the correct, three-dimensional shape so they will function properly. Misfolded proteins can ...

The molecule developed by scientists from the UMA and UCM is capable of controlling the rotation between parallel segments of this material and generating an efficient and durable ionic charge ...

A new open-source model of brain metabolism, developed by scientists at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), has shown how altering key chemicals could restore aged cells to their youthful ...

Epigenetic silencing governs key biological processes, from flowering time in plants to preventing uncontrolled cell growth that drives cancer in humans.
