The functions of biomolecules, including lipids, nucleic acids and especially proteins are determined to a great extent by their structure. This structure–function relationship is a foundation ...

Late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD) is the most common form of dementia, with symptoms appearing after age 65. Since ...

This finding emphasizes that membrane viscosity, previously overlooked, is a key factor in how membranes bend and reshape, offering new insights into cellular structure and function.

Specific cell populations also formed cellular communities in various combinations, with signaling pathways between the cell populations within the community defining their structure and function.

This approach can also help researchers study how cells interact with each other. Cryo-ET is likely to remain a specialized tool for some time. But further technological developments and increasing ...

Like bees breathing life into gardens, providing pollen and making flowers blossom, little cellular machines called ...

Proteins are the key players that regulate cellular structure and function. DNA, which functions as the blueprint for protein synthesis, is first transcribed into a messenger RNA (mRNA), which is ...

Our cells produce a variety of proteins, each with a specific role that, in many cases, means that they need to be in a ...

Scientists at the Babraham Institute have developed a method to “time jump” human skin cells by 30 years, turning back the cellular aging clock without losing specialized cellular function ...

Courses Cellular and Molecular Biology Courses The list below offers a representative sample of the courses you can expect in the study of cellular and molecular biology at DePauw. From theoretical ...

Cellular stains are organic fluorescent dyes or fluorescent conjugates designed to localize to a specific organelle or cellular structure. In some cases, the stains respond to the physiological ...
