Fossils are invaluable archives of the past. They preserve details about living things from a few thousand to hundreds of ...

SMC (structural maintenance of chromosomes) protein complexes are ring-shaped molecular motors essential for genome folding. Despite recent progress, the detailed molecu ...

Chemists at the University of Geneva and University of Pisa have crafted a novel family of chiral molecules whose mirror-image “handedness” remains rock-solid for tens of thousands of years. By ...

UBC Okanagan researchers have developed a 3D bio-printed model that closely mimics the complexity of natural lung tissue, an ...

D bioprinting uses living cells as "ink" to create functional tissues. Discover how this technology is transforming medicine ...

Magnetic micropillar arrays, made from magnetic composite materials, can change their shape under a magnetic field. However, ...

In biology textbooks and beyond, the human genome and DNA therein typically are taught in only one dimension. While it can be ...

Enzymes catalyze chemical reactions in organisms - without which life would not be possible. Leveraging AlphaFold2 artificial intelligence ...

Imagine a liquid that flows freely one moment, then stiffens into a near-solid the next, and then can switch back with a ...

Here we use cryogenic electron microscopy to determine the structure of TbAQP2 from Trypanosoma brucei, bound to either the substrate glycerol or to the sleeping sickness drugs, pentamidine or ...

Advanced imaging technologies are uncovering surprising roles for CD8+ T cells—not just in immune defense, but also in supporting tissue repair and regeneration.
