Identifying and delineating cell structures in microscopy images is crucial for understanding the complex processes of life. This task is called 'segmentation' and it enables a range of applications, ...

The shape and morphology of a cell play a key role in the biological function. This corresponds to the principle of "form ...

In living organisms, the cell membrane plays a crucial role. It’s not just a protective barrier—it also senses the environment, helps transport molecules, and allows cells to adapt and change. This ...

Not long ago, solving the crystal structure of a protein required an entire PhD. Growing crystals, collecting X-ray diffraction data, and interpreting electron density maps often took years of ...

Researchers study how DNA nanopores (DNPs) interact with low-curvature supported lipid bilayers over time. Using QCM-D, the study tracks diffusion, aggregation, and incorporation of DNPs, highlighting ...

The cell membrane, which contains a hydrophilic exterior and a hydrophobic interior, opens and closes ion channels like a water faucet and converts a physicochemical stimulus into an electrical signal ...

Cell culture is a fundamental technique in biotechnology and life sciences that involves growing and maintaining living cells outside their natural environment, typically in a controlled laboratory ...

A time-delay circuit enables precise control over the division of synthetic DNA droplets, which mimic biological Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation (LLPS) droplets found in cells. By utilizing a ...

Tens of thousands of people bleed to death each year in the United States before they can get to a hospital. That's because ambulances, medical helicopters and military medics can't routinely carry ...

For decades, scientists have been trying to create artificial blood to alleviate shortages and prevent people from bleeding to death. But those efforts have been repeatedly frustrated by failure. For ...
