The human genome encodes potentially thousands of tiny proteins that were previously overlooked. The search is on to find out ...

Cells are dynamic, fast-changing, complex, tiny, and often hard-to-see in environments that don't always behave in predictable ways when exposed to external stimuli. Now, researchers have found new ...

In biology textbooks, the endoplasmic reticulum is often portrayed as a distinct, compact organelle near the nucleus, and is ...

Researchers at the Leibniz Institute for Food Systems Biology at the Technical University of Munich have for the first time investigated how protein structures derived from fava beans affect a ...

Scientists reveal how filopodia help cancer spread. The breakthrough could improve treatments that stop cancer cells from invading tissues.

A group of 10th grade biology students at Aline-Cleo Public Schools proudly presented their food-based project, which diagrams the structure of the human cell. Using various edible ingredients, they ...
