Cryoelectron microscopy is a method for imaging frozen-hydrated specimens at cryogenic temperatures by electron ... ligands. Human lens clarity and function depends on well-organized cell junctions.

Human extracellular matrices can be edited in their composition using the CRISPR/Cas9 system, leading to materials exhibiting tailored regenerative capacities.

For successful cell division, chromosomal DNA needs to be packed into compact rod-shaped structures. Defects in this process can lead to cell death or diseases like cancer. A new study has shown how ...

Life takes shape with the motion of a single cell. In response to signals from certain proteins and enzymes, a cell can start ...

The macromolecular organization of photosynthetic complexes within the thylakoids of higher plant chloroplasts has been a topic of significant debate. Using in situ cryo-electron tomography, this ...
