- Muscle cells, also known as myocytes, are specialized cells designed for contraction and force production. Skeletal Muscle Cells: These cells are long, cylindrical, and have a striated (or striped) ...

Mount Sinai and BPGbio scientists uncover novel molecular drivers from live brain samples that direct human brain structure and function from ...

In its effort to correlate genomic structure with gene function, the 4D Nucleome Consortium (4DN), led by Job Dekker, Ph.D., at UMass Chan Medical School, has extensively mapped and analyzed the three ...

A team led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers has uncovered the atomic structure of a protein complex pivotal to the function of motile cilia, the hair-like structures extending from the ...

In A Nutshell As cells age, they deliberately shrink a major internal structure called the endoplasmic reticulum. This downsizing happens early in adulthood and shifts cells away from protein ...

These include stress granules and proteasome storage granules (PSGs). In the past, these membraneless organelles were only visible as “droplets” using a fluorescence microscope. Now, researchers from ...

The cochlea is the spiral-shaped structure within the inner ear responsible for our sense of hearing. To fully understand hearing functions and open the door to new hearing loss treatments, scientists ...
