Researchers have discovered that the enzyme NUDT5 utilizes its structure to exercise metabolic control over a key pathway in ...

Biomedical research often requires the use of biological models, and rodents are a common choice for many investigators. But researchers may have just made it easier for investigators to switch to an ...

Multimodular scaffold proteins are ideally suited for assembling the various proteins in signaling pathways into supramolecular complexes. A recent study demonstrates that, in addition to a passive ...

Many of the body's structures are surrounded by a matrix called the basement membrane, which acts as a kind of sheath that supports and surrounds muscles and fat and lines blood vessels and skin, for ...

Slicing up and analyzing real, living, three-dimensional brain tissue comes with some obvious complications – as in, it tends ...

Actin cross-linking proteins are responsible for organizing actin fibers into the scaffolding that allows a cell to move, change shape, and do much more. For example, in this video, you can see that ...

Scientists at the University of Osaka have developed a novel hydrogel that enables the efficient, three-dimensional (3D) ...

In the version of this article initially published, reference 10 was incorrect. The correct reference is: Olah, M. et al. in Chemical Biology: from Small Molecules to Systems Biology and Drug Design ...

For the first time, scientists have grown functional, brain-like tissue without using any animal-derived materials or added biological coatings. The development opens the door to more controlled and ...
