Over the years, cell biology has built a detailed picture of how cells compartmentalize their internal functions. Central to this organization is the nucleus, which houses the genetic material and is ...

The human body is a dynamic place. Blood pumps, spinal fluid flows, oxygen comes in and carbon dioxide goes out. Deeper still, charged molecules pass through cell walls, quietly keeping the body's ...

A new cell-free genomics framework isolates the primary impacts of transcription factors and establishes tuberculosis as a model for understanding how genes are regulated.

Compared to previous theories, the current research emphasizes the complexity of the biological and chemical processes that brought about life.

Antibiotic resistance is rising fast, killing tens of thousands each year in the U.S. alone—and scientists are racing to find ...

Your brain begins as a single cell. When all is said and done, it will house an incredibly complex and powerful network of some 170 billion cells. How does it organize itself along the way? Cold ...

A newly proposed biochemical cycle explains the function of photorespiration in plants, long thought to be a 'wasteful' energy consuming process.
