Proteins are the molecular machines of cells. They are produced in protein factories called ribosomes based on their ...

Every time a cell divides, it must copy its entire genome so that each daughter cell inherits a complete set of DNA. During that process, enzymes known as polymerases race along the DNA to copy its ...

UCSF scientists discover that the spindle, the structure that divides chromosomes equally during mitosis, actually gets stronger when it is stretched.

In its effort to correlate genomic structure with gene function, the 4D Nucleome Consortium (4DN), led by Job Dekker, Ph.D., at UMass Chan Medical School, has extensively mapped and analyzed the three ...

Ribosomes—the tiny factories that build proteins in our cells—don't all work with the same efficiency. Researchers from Japan have discovered that ribosomes actually compete with one another, and ...

Decades of textbook biology may need to be rewritten after an imaging study has revealed that hair does not grow by being pushed out from the root, as previously believed—but is pulled upward by ...

Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and Northwestern University identified a previously unknown treatment opportunity for sickle cell disease and β-thalassemia. The discovery, ...

A production-ready, full-stack web application for document OCR processing using the DeepSeek-OCR model. Features a modern React frontend, FastAPI backend, real-time progress updates via Server-Sent ...

Cell biology is a world of constant motion and hidden structures. Much of what we know about cells comes from decades of research using microscopes, stains, and models. Yet, even in this well-charted ...
