An international research team led jointly by the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG), the University of Göttingen and ...

A challenge in chemical biology is to study structure-activity relationships (SAR) in vivo in cells. Multiplexed activity profiling (MAP), developed for natural product discovery, is well-suited to ...

As mitochondria have crucial roles in metabolism and signaling, their structure and function must be continuously monitored and rapidly adjusted to meet cellular demands. Critical to this regulation ...

The researchers' findings, reported in Nature Structural & Molecular Biology, which involve radial spoke 3 (RS3), help answer some fundamental questions about how motile cilia work and could ...

Tiny tweaks in DNA folding can have big effects. A study from Umeå University shows that even the most subtle changes in DNA's shape have an important influence on gene activity and energy production.

An international research team led jointly by the University Medical Center Göttingen (UMG), the University of Göttingen, and the University of Western Ontario in London, Canada, has shown that nerve ...

As 2025 comes to a close, the editors at The Scientist asked researchers to reflect on the biggest breakthroughs in cell biology this year. They named advances in everything from embryo models for ...

That means researchers can now use it to better understand how genes function, how diseases start and how to design better treatments. "Every single cell can have a different chromosome structure," ...

Life and death are traditionally viewed as opposites. But the emergence of new multicellular life-forms from the cells of a dead organism introduces a “third state” that lies beyond the traditional ...
