Northwestern University scientists have developed the most advanced organoid model for human spinal cord injury to date. In a ...

Neurites include axons, which are often severed during spinal cord injuries. When axons are cut, communication between ...

Scientists discover how yellow fever and encephalitis viruses enter human cells, and block them with decoy molecules.

Can eating fat be good for us? Some fatty acid molecules actually play a crucial role in maintaining our health and cellular functions. By the early twentieth century, scientists and doctors widely ...

Just making these organoids was a big advance in spinal research, so the success of the so-called “dancing molecules” treatment represents fresh hope.

Scientists have long used fluorescent dyes—which emit light—to research cell structures and activities. By attaching fluorescent molecules to a protein, for example, scientists can take images of it ...

A Brossay Lab study reveals how nonclassical CD8+ T cells can be activated by molecules that go undetected by classical CD8+ ...

Many diseases arise from the misplacement of proteins in cells. A potential solution to this problem has been developed: small molecules that help displaced proteins catch a ride with other proteins ...

Seeing chemistry unfold inside living cells is one of the biggest challenges of modern bioimaging. Raman microscopy offers a ...

Scientists have discovered a remarkable way to destroy cancer cells. Stimulating aminocyanine molecules with near-infrared light caused them to vibrate in sync, enough to break apart the membranes of ...

Construction of theophylline-responsive, eukaryotic kinetic ON-riboswitches with a highly efficient chimeric IRES between the PSIV and CrPV[GCA] IRESes. Credit: ACS Synthetic Biology (2024). DOI: ...
