Live-capture of virus infected cells. After infection of a host cell, a virus tries to replicate (green dots), and tries to prevent the host cell…
A microfluidic chip with individual droplets shown in different colors. Each droplet contains material from single cells and delivers it for single cell omics analyses.…
SARS-CoV-2’s ability to infect cells relies on interactions between the viral spike protein (magenta) and the protein ACE2 (blue), which is present on the surface…
The mutant MARK4 creates a form of tau which accumulates easily in brain cells, causing neurons to die. Credit: Tokyo Metropolitan University Mutation to MARK4…
Cruciviruses are a hybrid form containing both RNA and DNA genomic material. Here, a single-stranded DNA virus (yellow) containing a Rep protein sequence, which directs…
Researchers say viral transmission risk is low, even when candies are handled by infected persons, but handwashing and disinfecting collected sweets reduces risk even further.…
Shedding light on human brain development. Credit: ©Dexheimer/IMBA Many of the fundamental principles in biology and essentially all pathways regulating development were identified in so-called…
Bacillus biofilms resemble embryos. Credit: Dr. Momir Futo, Rudjer Boskovic Institute Discovery that bacterial biofilms behave like animal embryos sheds new light on the origin…
A new study led by Marc Veldhoen, principal investigator at Instituto de Medicina Molecular João Lobo Antunes (iMM; Portugal) with an interdisciplinary team of clinicians…
A female mosquito has finely tuned senses that help her find the blood meal she needs in order to reproduce. New research reveals how the…
Dopamine, serotonin involved in sub-second perception, cognition. In first-of-their-kind observations in the human brain, an international team of researchers has revealed two well-known neurochemicals —…

Rubisco is the most abundant enzyme on the planet. Present in plants, cyanobacteria (also known as blue-green algae) and other photosynthetic organisms, it’s central to…
SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19, has wreaked havoc on health care systems, economies, and everyday lives worldwide. Scientists are fighting back with multiple strategies,…
