The functions of biomolecules, including lipids, nucleic acids and especially proteins are determined to a great extent by their structure. This structure–function relationship is a foundation of many ...

In a recent study published in the journal Nature, a large team of researchers from the United States (U.S.) used single-cell ribonucleic acid (RNA) sequencing combined with high-resolution ...

For years, biomolecular condensates were thought to be simple, liquid-like droplets with little internal organization. New ...

The challenges of connecting molecular changes to tissue structure and highlights the potential of multifractal frameworks to quantify complex biological patterns ...

By refining the model and expanding its application to different cell types and organisms, researchers hope to unlock new insights into cellular structure and function. More information: Ryota ...

Researchers shifted the focus to the internal properties of the membrane itself, specifically its viscosity, highlighting its critical role in controlling deformation and dynamics during essential ...

Prior to using this narrative, have learners create their own model of a cell in their notebooks using whatever background information or experience they might have. While exploring the narrative, ...

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have characterized how cellular senescence—a biological process in which aging cells change how they function—is associated with human brain ...

Researchers have developed a human intestinal cell model that closely mimics the structure and function of the human gut, ...

Can the bend of a banana give us insight into cancer? What does the shape of a rice grain have to do with infertility? The proteins that give plants their shape and structure are also involved in ...

The list below offers a representative sample of the courses you can expect in the study of cellular and molecular biology at DePauw. From theoretical foundations to practical experiences, these ...
