Meet Stephen Quake: The scientist who treats biology like physics and turned life into data
Open the Youtube video Biology has always been an unruly science. Cells divide when they want to. Genes switch on and off ...
Artistic rendering of cellulose biosynthesis with zoomed in view. Individual cellulose chains (dark brown) are synthesized by plasma membrane-bound (purple) cellulose synthase enzyme complexes (cream) ...
We recently found that impaired acetylation of RG-I leads to a loss of epidermal cell adhesion (see preprint here). This project aims to achieve a genetic and molecular-level understanding of the ...
As 2025 comes to a close, the editors at The Scientist asked researchers to reflect on the biggest breakthroughs in cell biology this year. They named advances in everything from embryo models for ...
Fungi are everywhere, and in many cases, a fungal infection can be eliminated by a person's immune system. But fungal infections can also send long hyphae into the body that are extremely difficult to ...
