To study biological processes, scientists often take snapshots of the molecules in cells, such as proteins and nucleotides, at specific points in time. In spatial biology, they can leverage molecular ...

Unraveling the mysteries of how biological organisms function begins with understanding the molecular interactions within and across large cell populations. A revolutionary new tool, developed at the ...

Caspases are a family of proteolytic enzymes that play a central role in apoptosis, the regulated process of programmed cell death essential for development, homeostasis and the clearance of damaged ...

Deep inside a small, windowless room at the University of California, Berkeley, two microscopes are quietly capturing some of ...

For decades, biologists assumed a cell's energy simply diffused to wherever it was needed. It turns out the most important ...

The list below offers a representative sample of the courses you can expect in the study of cellular and molecular biology at DePauw. From theoretical foundations to practical experiences, these ...

Fluorescence microscopy illustrates immune cell–mediated extraction of nuclear DNA from dying cells, highlighting a newly identified process called nucleocytosis. Over the years, cell biology has ...

Scientists found that aging may begin with a hidden cellular remodel that could help drive disease later in life.

Researchers from Queen Mary University of London have uncovered a previously unknown mechanism by which HIV-1 can infect resting immune cells. The discovery challenges a decades-old assumption in HIV ...

Improvements in public health have allowed humankind to survive to older ages than ever before, but, for many people, these added golden years are not spent in good health. Aging is a natural part of ...

Scientists identified phosphatidylcholine loss as a key driver of mitochondrial aging and showed that restoring it can ...
