Cells synthesize proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), and these proteins are transported to the Golgi apparatus for ...

Scientists say they have built a cell from scratch for the first time that can feed, grow and replicate like a natural cell. This breakthrough in synthetic biology could usher in an era of ...

For the very first time, biologists packed nonliving components into a cell-like membrane, piece by piece, and witnessed the bag of molecules start to behave like life. The lab-made synthetic cell ...

Scientists have long dreamed of discovering the alchemy by which chemicals can be turned into life. On Wednesday, a team at the University of Minnesota announced that it had taken a major step toward ...

Let’s say it’s 2036, and scientists are working on a new class of drugs. These medications are mirror-image versions of the molecules your body uses to fight disease. Their big advantage is that ...

Genetic mutations in TAPT1 cause complex skeletal dysplasia and abnormal brain structure. Here, we demonstrate that Tapt1 knockout in the brain leads to profound neurodevelopmental abnormalities, ...

Arfs are small Ras-superfamily proteins important for regulating membrane trafficking including the recruitment of vesicular coats as well as a diverse range of other functions. There are five Arfs in ...

Our cells carry out hundreds of thousands of important functions every day, all of which are carefully orchestrated at a microscopic scale. However, the precise mechanisms that influence the luminal ...

Jason Moore looks at technology that is impacting fire apparatus design, including next-generation connectivity, telematics and traffic pre-emption. Built-in information centers, connected technology ...

Version of Record: This is the final version of the article. This work by the Meng lab investigates the role of the proteins MARK2 and CAMSAP2 in the Golgi reorientation during cell polarisation and ...
