Cells can spontaneously change shape even without external signals, but the underlying mechanisms behind this form of ...

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced naturally during cellular metabolism often cause oxidative damage to cells. However, ...

How large, fully folded proteins can pass through cell membranes without destroying them has long been one of the open ...

To celebrate the journal’s 25th anniversary, we asked 13 researchers to offer a glimpse of what their research field might look like in 2050. They consider how technological breakthroughs — for ...

A foundation model, a large-scale deep learning model pretrained on vast datasets, has revolutionized data interpretation through self-supervised learning with capacity for various downstream tasks.

A new study led by Marco Fumasoni, principal investigator at Fundação GIMM, shows that evolution can substantially reduce ...

How does a single cell build a brain with billions of precisely organized neurons? Researchers suggest that brain cells use ...

Now, in a perspective published in Nature Biotechnology, Di Carlo and colleagues from UCLA, USC and Caltech are calling on ...
