The illustration of the viral membrane lipid bi-layer shows the water-loving heads (yellow circles) and water-hating tails (blue squiggles). AEG12, based on the protein’s crystal…
Human bodies have roughly 30,000 genes dictating not only how we look, but also critical biological processes. Now, a Florida State University and Australia National…
Confocal microscopic image of cortical neurons after two-step labeling. The neurons were fixed, permeabilized, and immunostained with an anti-MAP2 antibody for visualizing the dendrite. Green…
In a paper published in Science, biologists at Baylor College of Medicine, the Netherlands Cancer Institute and Rice University studying the tree of life unveil…
Salk research reveals clues about molecular changes underlying muscle loss tied to aging. One of the many effects of aging is loss of muscle mass,…

A mycoplasma cell is gliding on a sheet of sialylated oligosaccharide fixed on glass. The gliding machinery on the cell is presented as three kinds…
The so-called capsid protects the genetic information of a virus and is far more flexible than previously thought. Its proteins are organized in hexamers (grey)…
Researchers created an algorithm to identify similar cell types from species – including fish, mice, flatworms and sponges – that have diverged for hundreds of…
