Our bodies are made up of countless cells, and each one is enclosed by a thin layer called the cell membrane. This membrane is not a rigid wall, but a soft, flexible sheet made of lipids. Beneath it ...
Scientists at Feinberg are reshaping scientific understanding of the cell's tiniest components—structures once thought to be static, now revealed to be dynamic engines of cellular life. As they probe ...
The research is opening new frontiers in pest control and evolutionary biology. An international group of scientists has uncovered a strange tubular structure within Profftella, a bacterium that lives ...
The Asian citrus psyllid (left), a representative elongated Profftella cell containing numerous intracellular tubules (middle), and the architecture of a single tubular structure (right). A research ...
The cytoskeleton is a critical component of cancer cell migration and is broadly involved in cell structure and motility. The formation of actin filaments (F-actin), in particular, is a notable driver ...

Citation analysis tips scientists for work on greener lithium-ion batteries, single-atom catalysis and biomolecular condensates ...
In Alzheimer’s disease, Hameroff says, scientists don’t know whether the microtubules disintegrate and release the tau or whether the tau falls off because of a malfunction that weakens the bond. The ...
New research shows that cancer cells don’t just grow; they adapt when stressed. When squeezed inside tissues, they transform into more invasive, drug-resistant versions of themselves. A protein called ...
According to the ‘grow or go’ model, cancer cells can switch between invasive and proliferative states. A zebrafish model of skin cancer shows that the invasive switch is triggered by mechanical ...
