Over the past two decades, researchers have learned that DNA inside the cell nucleus naturally folds into a network of ...

This technology has allowed researchers to study fleeting, ephemeral structures inside cells, which were previously undetectable. By utilizing cryo-electron tomography, the research team was able to ...

That means researchers can now use it to better understand how genes function, how diseases start and how to design better treatments. "Every single cell can have a different chromosome structure," ...

A team led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers has uncovered the atomic structure of a protein complex pivotal to the function of motile cilia, the hair-like structures extending from the ...

Prior to using this narrative, have learners create their own model of a cell in their notebooks using whatever background information or experience they might have. While exploring the narrative, ...

A 3D rendering showing the internal structure of an animal cell, with several round or wavy structures inside a border. It turns out that the redox state of a cell, such as the animal cell shown, is ...

The story of the cell cycle is often told only through the perspective of the chromosomes as they replicate and then divide. This resource beautifully illustrates the role of the cytoskeleton in that ...

Allan Albig receives funding from the National Institute of Health. Think back to that basic biology class you took in high school. You probably learned about organelles, those little “organs” inside ...

A research team from the Wuhan National Laboratory for Optoelectronics (WNLO) and the School of Optical and Electronic ...
