Cells manage a wide range of functions in their tiny package — growing, moving, housekeeping, and so on — and most of those functions require energy. But how do cells get this energy in the first ...

Researchers have discovered how unstructured segments of surface proteins regulate the biological function of a cell. Their study, published in Nature Communications, sheds new light on the interplay ...

Tiny tweaks in DNA folding can have big effects. A study from Umeå University shows that even the most subtle changes in DNA's shape have an important influence on gene activity and energy production.

One of the ultimate goals of biological research is to understand the multiscale organization of the human cell and its relationship to biological function and human disease. As much of cell structure ...

Researchers developed a laser-based artificial neuron that fully emulates the functions, dynamics and information processing of a biological graded neuron, which could lead to new breakthroughs in ...
