The cell nucleus is the site of many important biological functions of the eukaryotic cell. These processes include transcription, replication, splicing and ribosome biogenesis. The effect of ...

They are essential for cell survival and serve as the most important drug targets. To function properly, membrane proteins need to adopt a well-defined three-dimensional structure at the atomic level.

Students will learn about the chemical and molecular basis of life, cell structure and function, gene structure, expression and heredity, reproduction, development, and evolution. As they learn ...

Many microscopy techniques have won Nobel Prizes over the years. Advancements like cryo-ET that allow scientists to see the individual atoms of cells can reveal their biological functions.

An accumulation of an unexpected intermediate of the peptidoglycan recycling pathway that is able to modulate the synthesis and structure of the cell wall, has been found by researchers at Umeå ...

They are abundant in cells that experience mechanical stress and have a primarily structural function. They associate with distinct sets of intermediate filaments in specific cell types.
