A buildup of a structural protein called F-actin inside aging brain cells appears to cripple the cellular waste-clearing machinery that keeps neurons healthy, according to a study in Drosophila fruit ...

Biomolecular condensates were long believed to be simple liquid blobs inside cells. Researchers have now uncovered that some are actually supported by fine protein filaments forming an internal ...

Growing tissues can crack, break, and dissociate to form structures that can later withstand immense forces.

Cells rely on biomolecular condensates to coordinate essential biological processes without surrounding membranes. These droplet-like dynamic assemblies control the way in which DNA is turned into ...

For decades, scientists viewed the genome of a newly fertilised egg as a structural 'blank slate' – a disordered tangle of ...

Human DNA constantly refolds in 3D space, and these looping dynamics regulate gene expression and cell identity.

Cytokines play a central role in regulating physiological processes, largely because of their ability to orchestrate intercellular communication. As ...

On Thursday, Feb. 19, Ali May, an assistant professor at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai presented her research on the various ways tissue resident macrophages shape embryonic salivary ...
