Inside every human cell, a tiny structure called a lysosome acts like a recycling center, breaking down toxic waste, clearing ...

When oil is dropped in water, the oil droplets stay separate. Cells can also use a system like this to separate or gather materials, encouraging various reactions and processes to occur. Scientists ...

Polyamines are small polycationic molecules—principally putrescine, spermidine and spermine—ubiquitous in all living cells. Their biosynthesis begins with ornithine decarboxylation to form putrescine, ...

A team of researchers led by Dr. Kim V. Narry, director of the Center for RNA Research at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS), has uncovered a key cellular mechanism that affects the function of ...

Single-cell functional analysis enables scientists to examine the unique characteristics of each cell within organs, tissues, and cell cultures. Unlike bulk-cell analysis, single-cell analysis allows ...

Single-cell analysis is a ubiquitous laboratory technique that allows researchers to probe the myriad biomolecular states of cells. Single-cell assays can reveal gene and protein expression patterns, ...

In the rapidly evolving field of drug discovery, single-cell analysis has become an invaluable tool for understanding cellular heterogeneity and molecular pathways. However, traditional single-cell ...

Resurrection beyond cellular disintegration is simply impossible. However, when a person dies, cell death itself isn’t instant. Researchers are taking advantage of a timed window during which they can ...
