A new machine learning method has achieved what even AlphaFold cannot — the design of intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs), the shape-shifting biomolecules that make up nearly 30% of all human ...

Scientists have used human skin cells to produce functional eggs using a new scientific technique they say could one day help infertile people have their own biological children.

Attached to nearly every human cell is an antenna-like structure known as the primary cilium, which senses the cell's environment and controls how it responds to signals from its surroundings. New ...

Every human life begins as a cluster of cells that soon face critical decisions. Within weeks, those cells must choose their fates – some forming the nervous system, others the gut, heart, or muscle.

A study offers new insights into the "antennae" - or primary cilia - that human cells use for signal processing. This atlas of human cilia may contribute to a better understanding of a range of ...

Using a ChatGPT-like AI model, scientists have created a new map of the mouse brain that captures previously uncharted areas of the organ in unprecedented detail.The map, published Tuesday (Oct. 7) in ...

When cancer cells are physically squeezed, they mount an instant, high-energy defense by rushing mitochondria to the cell nucleus, unleashing a surge of ATP that fuels DNA repair and survival. This ...

Seattle scientists Mary Brunkow and Fred Ramsdell won the Nobel Prize for research on the immune cells that prevent our body from attacking itself.

In mapping the primary cilia in human cells, researchers at KTH Royal Institute of Technology and Stanford University have opened the door to identifying new disease-causing genes and better ...

Researchers say artificial intelligence has helped them create one of the most detailed maps of the mouse brain to date.

The discovery of a defensive mechanism could help stop cancer before it spreads. Cancer cells rapidly increase their energy output when physically squeezed, according to a study in Nature ...
