Sterols are among the most abundant lipids in eukaryotic cells, yet are synthesized through notoriously long, complex metabolic pathways. Researchers have used a novel approach to show how they ...

An international team of scientists have unlocked a key piece of Earth's evolutionary puzzle by decoding the structure of a ...

Did you know that more than 75% of new infectious diseases affecting humans originally come from animals? Bats, in particular, are natural hosts to some of the world's most dangerous viruses, ...

If adults have nucleated red blood cells (NRBCs) in their blood, it’s usually a sign of a life threatening condition. The optimal NRBC count is 0. Even very low NRBC counts could cause a doctor ...

Background: It is uncertain whether a liberal red blood cell (RBC) transfusion strategy is superior to a restrictive approach in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and anemia. Methods: We ...

The emergence of machine learning and high-content microscopy suggests potential to more comprehensively define CF activation beyond simply staining α-SMA. Here, we coupled Cell Painting 4 with a ...

Cell morphology changed significantly with increased N-cadherin—both cells and their nuclei grew larger. "You could see that the structure within the cell, the scaffolding within the cell ...

We first investigated nanofibre morphology and Schwann cell guidance capacity in the absence of growth factor, and then assessed the GDNF-loaded scaffold characteristics including growth factor ...
