Ion channels are narrow passageways that play a pivotal role in many biological processes. To model how ions move through these tight spaces, pores need to be fabricated at very small length scales.

Microscopic organisms in the ocean play a key role in removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. A new study unveils a hidden biological factor that could change our understanding of how this ...

KCTD proteins represent a diverse family that plays critical roles in cellular regulation, impacting processes such as cell cycle progression, signal transduction, and ubiquitination. Recent ...

Protons are the basis of bioenergetics. The ability to move them through biological systems is essential for life. A new study in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences shows for the first ...

This might be the beginning of arterial calcifications. It is an elekron microscopy image of calcified material forming deposits. This is the first time it was possible to show a biological process ...

To study biological processes, scientists often take snapshots of the molecules in cells, such as proteins and nucleotides, at specific points in time. In spatial biology, they can leverage molecular ...

If you learned about biology and quantum mechanics in the same course, it was probably in the form of two unrelated chapters in different parts of the syllabus in something like an integrated science ...

The undergraduate minor in biological engineering teaches students to create biological processes and products for application in a myriad of fields, from pharmaceuticals to biomaterials to ...

Many biological processes are regulated by electricity-from nerve impulses to heartbeats to the movement of molecules in and out of cells. A new study by Scripps Research scientists reveals a ...

While chronological age is easily measured, it fails to capture the complex biological processes that determine the rate of aging. A new proteomic aging clock may predict biological age, mortality ...
