Scientists have long known that cellular membranes vary in thickness, but measuring those differences inside actual cells has ...

BK and CaV1.3 channels interact early during biogenesis, assembling intracellularly before membrane localization, indicating coordinated processes for functional coupling.

For 450 million years, plants and soil fungi have been trading partners. The fungi weave through plant roots, delivering ...

The Arctic ground squirrel survives conditions that would cause irreparable brain damage in almost any other mammal on the ...

Navigating the world is no mean feat, especially when the world pushes back. For instance, airflow hitting a fly on its right side can, after a turn, become a headwind. To stay on course, the fly's ...

Cells that are about to die send a signal to an executioner protein, but sometimes, those cells can fight back and regenerate ...

Proteomics experiments on Drosophila reveal sex-specific effects in aging, and an important role for a protein called DIP-β.

To navigate, the brain must convert changing sensations into a map-like sense of the world, which remains stable as the body moves. A new study finds that the fly brain sometimes performs the ...

Drug discovery is shifting from static snapshots to moving pictures. Instead of inferring how medicines work from end results ...

A research team reports that advances in protein design—especially when combined with artificial intelligence—are rapidly ...

A team from the Würzburg Institute of Experimental Biomedicine I and the Rudolf Virchow Center (RVZ) has fundamentally changed our understanding of ...

A multidisciplinary team has uncovered a key mechanism that allows the human bacterium Mycoplasma pneumoniae-responsible for atypical pneumonia and other respiratory infections-to obtain cholesterol ...
