Researchers at the University of Tsukuba have examined the developmental fate (the future tissue type) of shell-forming cells in mollusks using blastomere isolation and culture techniques alongside ...

WASHINGTON – The U.S. Treasury Department announced it will not enforce a Biden-era small business rule intended to curb money laundering and shell company formation. In a Sunday evening announcement, ...

Experimentally, how did you track the intermediate steps of viral shell formation? Because viruses are only a few nanometers in size and the intermediate stages are so short-lived, we cannot capture ...

Tsukuba, Japan—Mollusks exhibit diverse shell morphologies, such as those seen in bivalves (e.g., clams) and gastropods (e.g., snails). Understanding the mechanisms underlying shell formation requires ...

"Until now, most studies have focused on simpler systems or relied on artificial constraints," said Roya Zandi, a professor of physics and astronomy, who led the project. "Our research makes a major ...

RIVERSIDE, Calif. -- Research led by a physicist at the University of California, Riverside, shows how viruses form protective shells, or capsids, around their genomes — a process that, while messy ...
