Some of the body's cells stay put for life, while others are free to roam. To move, these migratory cells rely on ...

Our limited knowledge of these proteins belies their importance — they make up more than 40% of proteins in eukaryotic cells. However, their writhing, tangled structures make them next to ...

While prokaryotic cells do not have membrane-bound structures, they do have distinct cellular regions (Figure 1). In prokaryotic cells, DNA bundles together in a region called the nucleoid. Primitive ...

A look at the cells of different organisms and a comparison of the structures found in plant and animal cells. All animal cells are surrounded by a membrane which contains the cytoplasm.

Fusing dyes to antibodies or inserting genes coding for fluorescent proteins into the DNA of living cells can help scientists pick out the location of organelles, cytoskeletal elements, and other ...

A generative AI-based technique can predict thousands of 3D genomic structures in just minutes, enabling researchers to more ...

Around the same time, researchers James Watson and Francis Crick were pursuing a definitive model for the stable structure of DNA inside cell nuclei. Watson and Crick ultimately used Franklin's ...

MIT chemists found a new way to determine 3D genome structures, using generative AI, that can predict thousands of genome structures in minutes, making it much speedier than existing methods for ...

which ensure that a brain cell is different from a skin cell, are partly determined by the three-dimensional structure of the genetic material, which controls the accessibility of each gene.
