Researchers from the Göttingen Cluster of Excellence Multiscale Bioimaging (MBExC) have uncovered the 3D structure of the ...

In a 2014 Nature paper, Ralston described this awkward process — trogocytosis, or “cell nibbling.” It was a revelation at the ...

The brain is a unique place. It is shielded from much of the body by the blood-brain barrier, meaning it's protected from ...

This fundamental study combines in vitro reconstitution experiments and molecular dynamics simulations to elucidate how membrane lipids are transported from the outer to the inner membrane of ...

How do we think, feel, remember, or move? These processes involve synaptic transmission, in which chemical signals are ...

MIT engineers developed a fuel cell that offers more than three times as much energy per pound compared to lithium-ion ...
