In a pioneering discovery, researchers at UNIST have captured, for the first time, the elusive intermediate stages involved in the pairing of cell membrane proteins. Contrary to long-held beliefs that ...

There are many kinds of T cells, and they play different parts in defending the body. Some T cells kill infected cells, ...

A research team from the Department of Applied Chemistry and Life Science at the Toyohashi University of Technology (Professor Ryugo Tero et al.) discovered a phenomenon in which specific lipids were ...

We established that Onsager’s principle of reciprocity is violated for the cell model of an ion–exchange membrane —the coupled cross kinetic coefficients are not equal. It is crucial when considering ...

Researchers have successfully demonstrated that hagfish slime proteins can accurately replicate membranes in the human eye. Scientists were able to properly grow retinal cells on hagfish slime ...

It has only recently become known that two parallel systems of blood formation exist in the body, originating from different ...

This week’s research spotlight highlights Professor of Chemistry Bob Rawle’s lab, which studies viral infections.

In natural environments, bacteria rarely live as free-swimming cells but are attached to surfaces as biofilms in medical ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have developed a new stem cell model of the mature human amniotic sac, which replicates development of the tissues supporting the embryo from two to four ...
