From their odd appendages to their unsavory hygiene, certain animals suffer an image problem. But their awkward attributes ...

In a 2014 Nature paper, Ralston described this awkward process — trogocytosis, or “cell nibbling.” It was a revelation at the ...

“You could see little parts of the human cell being broken off,” Ralston said of her very first encounter with the parasite. In 2014, she published her initial findings in Nature on the process, known ...

Although scientists have previously discovered thousands of circRNAs in human and animal cells, only a small number have been found in viruses -- mainly in large DNA viruses like herpes viruses ...

Entamoeba histolytica has the unusual ability to kill human cells and then wear them as a ... Ralston and her team aim to label proteins within the parasite with fluorescent markers.

Asymmetric division was found to be more likely in isomorphic cells. Would isomorphism in zebrafish translate to human cells? To find out, the researchers used micropatterning, which involves ...

May 29, 2025 — Cohesin is a protein that forms a ring-shaped complex which wraps and alters the DNA molecule shape. It moves through the DNA and creates specific loops in the genetic material ...

Following on from a remarkable study in mice, scientists have now confirmed that silencing a certain protein in muscle tissue leads to energy-deprived human cells seeking out fat for fuel ...

T he results are in, and we finally know what happens to human cells exposed to 5G signals. In a sealed experiment at Constructor University in Germany, scientists bombarded human skin cells with ...

This useful manuscript describes cryo-EM structures of archaeal proteasomes that reveal insights into how occupancy of binding pockets on the 20S protease regulates proteasome gating. The evidence ...
