While researchers have long been familiar with the surface structure of lymphatic vessels, a groundbreaking study has now focused on their jigsaw puzzle-like pattern. This arrangement helps cells ...

With the long-term goal of creating living cells from non-living components, scientists in the field of synthetic biology work with RNA origami. This tool uses the multifunctionality of the natural ...

Mitochondria are the powerhouses in our cells, producing the energy for all vital processes. Using cryo-electron tomography, ...

Scaling up biohybrid robots has been difficult due to the weak contractile force of lab-grown muscles, the risk of necrosis in thick muscle tissues, and the challenge of integrating biological ...

WEHI researchers have solved a decades-long mystery by determining the structure of human PINK1, a key protein linked to ...

A previously unknown protein in a family of bacteria found in soil and the human gut microbiome has been discovered – which could help drug delivery in cancer treatment.

The Organ-on-a-Chip (OOAC) technology simulates various organ systems depending on the specific cell types seeded onto the ...

Melbourne-based researchers at the Walter and Eliza Hall Institute (WEHI) at the Parkinson's Disease Research Centre have ...

Researchers have identified a previously unknown bacterial protein, the structure of which is being used in the design of protein nanoparticles for the targeted delivery of anticancer drugs to tumors.

Scientists have found a way to study early embryonic development without real embryos. Using CRISPR, they programmed stem cells to self-organize into structures mimicking early embryos. The cells show ...

Study reveals the structure of PINK1 protein, offering fresh hope for Parkinson's patients through potential targeted therapies that address root causes.

Cambridge University researchers have uncovered evidence that two distinct populations of ancient hominins, separated for ...
