Plastic, once ingenious for its durability and versatility, has become a global environmental issue that is affecting every aspect of life. This, in turn, is fueling the development of degradable ...

A research team led by Potsdam-based bioinformatician Prof. Dr. Zoran Nikoloski has developed a computational approach and an accompanying tool that enables the detailed analysis and reconstruction of ...

Every time our body encounters a new disease-causing agent, a crucial defence system called adaptive immunity comes into play. T cells, the top agents in this system, survey the internal environment ...

To divide, move, and polarize, cells must self-organize their constituent proteins into large-scale patterns with varied spatiotemporal character. The design principles of this process remain poorly ...

In the first months of his administration, President Donald Trump repeatedly threatened due process, a fundamental principle enshrined in the U.S. Constitution. His attacks have spanned from the ...

The cytoskeleton plays a crucial role in regulating cellular behavior, acting as both a structural framework and a mediator of mechanical and biochemical signals that influence cell fate. In the ...

Version of Record: This is the final version of the article. The paper details a study of endothelial cell vessel formation during zebrafish development. The results focus on the role of aquaporins, ...

Earth is bathed in nitrogen. It makes up about 78% of the atmosphere, and it’s stitched into every nucleotide, every cell, every living thing on the planet. But before humans learned to synthesize ...

Buildup of a protein called filamentous actin, or F-actin, in the brain inhibits the removal of cellular wastes, including DNA, lipids, proteins and organelles. The resulting accumulation of waste ...

ABSTRACT: For the first time, for different organic and inorganic compounds possessing the plastic crystalline phase, a new semiempirical equation describing dependence of their fusion enthalpies on ...
