Prior to using this narrative, have learners create their own model of a cell in their notebooks using whatever background information or experience they might have. While exploring the narrative, ...

MIT researchers discovered that the genome’s 3D structure doesn’t vanish during cell division as previously thought. Instead, ...

A Jacobs School researcher is focused on learning more about how tight junctions form naturally — and how their breakdown can lead to disease.

Researchers have found a new, dynamic protein structure in cells. Every cell contains millions of protein molecules. Some of them have the ability to phase-separate to form non-membrane-bound ...

Researchers say findings help to bridge the structure of the genome to its function in managing how genes are turned on and off.

Researchers provide a comprehensive overview of the blood-brain barrier (BBB), detailing its cellular architecture, transport ...

As chronic liver disease becomes more widespread, researchers at Science Tokyo have developed a lab-grown organoid that ...

Using DNA and proteins, scientists have created new synthetic cells that act like living cells. Blurring the line between artificial and living materials, these cells can be reprogrammed to perform ...
