Precise methods for shredding or repairing and replacing specific cancer-causing proteins in a malignant cell, developed at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, could have applications beyond ...

Scientists have long known that cellular membranes vary in thickness, but measuring those differences inside actual cells has ...

(Nanowerk News) Drawing inspiration from natural sensory systems, an MIT-led team has designed a novel sensor that could detect the same molecules that naturally occurring cell receptors can identify.

An MIT-led team designed a sensor that may be deployed to screen patients for hard-to-diagnose cancers, or metastatic tumors. The device draws inspiration from the membrane that surrounds all cells.

A study could open new pathways for understanding how cholesterol influences cell membranes and their receptors, paving the way for future research on diseases linked to membrane organization. A new ...

To demonstrate the method, the team printed a range of tiny shapes, including a 10-micrometer elephant, laboratory logos, ...

While our cells are performing some important, basic functions, they can generate compounds known as reactive oxygen species ...
