(Nanowerk News) Cells are the basic units of life – but many of their fundamental processes happen so fast and at such small length scales that current scientific tools and methods can't keep up, ...

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 ...

Exposure to air pollution while in the womb is linked to alterations in proteins that can be detected after a baby is born, and which affect cell processes such as autophagy, the 'self-eating' of ...

A research group has developed new advanced light-controlled tools that enable precise control of proteins in real time in living cells. This groundbreaking research opens doors to new methods for ...
