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.

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 ...

One of the longstanding challenges in chemical biology has been finding ways to directly observe biological processes at work ...

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 ...

New AI Tool Reveals Single-Cell Structure of Chromosomes -- In 3D May 28, 2025 — In a major leap forward for genetic and biomedical research, scientists have developed a powerful new artificial ...

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 ...

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 ...
