Can eating fat be good for us? Some fatty acid molecules actually play a crucial role in maintaining our health and cellular functions. By the early twentieth century, scientists and doctors widely ...

Many diseases arise from the misplacement of proteins in cells. A potential solution to this problem has been developed: small molecules that help displaced proteins catch a ride with other proteins ...

A team of researchers at the Departments of Physical Chemistry and Organic Chemistry of the University of Malaga and The Biomimetic Dendrimers and Photonic Laboratory of the research institute IBIMA ...

Prostate cancer is the second-most common cancer in men. A new study from Thomas Jefferson University uncovered a new ...

Scientists have discovered a remarkable way to destroy cancer cells. Stimulating aminocyanine molecules with near-infrared light caused them to vibrate in sync, enough to break apart the membranes of ...

A few years ago, researchers developed a novel treatment that seemed to repair tissue and spinal cord injuries. These so-called dancing molecules have now been applied to human cartilage cells, and ...

Engineered immune cells called CAR-T cells are used in the treatment of cancer. Researchers from Uppsala University have now discovered that CAR molecules can be transferred from the CAR-T cells to ...

For the first time, scientists can view RNA molecules directly inside cells and tissue in minute detail and across the entire human genome concurrently, thanks to new technology created by a Yale ...

A new hybrid microscope for the first time allows scientists to simultaneously image the full 3D orientation and position of an ensemble of molecules, such as labeled proteins inside cells. (Nanowerk ...

RIKEN researchers have discovered how right-handed molecules in our cells can give rise to cells that are not symmetrical about their central axes. This discovery is a key step toward determining why ...

Polyprolines of different lengths, relatively stiff polypeptides, served as intramolecular “nanometer rulers” to demonstrate the highest MINFLUX resolutions in the Förster resonance energy transfer ...

Scientists have discovered a remarkable way to destroy cancer cells. A study published last year found stimulating aminocyanine molecules with near-infrared light caused them to vibrate in sync, ...
