Why Google DeepMind, Perplexity, Khan Academy, Canva, and Salesforce are among Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies for 2025.

Researchers have revealed for the first time how a key protein linked to Parkinson's mutates, leads to cell death in the ...

Biological cells often possess thin, hair-like protrusions on their surface known as cilia, which serve various functions ...

Scientists have discovered a protein that enables bacteria to shut down into dormant spores under extreme conditions. The process, which enables the bacteria to become practically indestructible, ...

Scientists from Germany and Italy have uncovered details of the protective layer that surrounds the fine protrusions of cells ...

This study provides compelling evidence that kinesin's stepping mechanism is governed by strain-induced conformational changes in its nucleotide-binding pockets. Using pre-steady state kinetics and ...

Protein folding is the process by which proteins achieve their mature functional (native) tertiary structure, and often begins co-translationally. Protein folding requires chaperones and often ...

One of the key challenges of the modern genomics era is studying the thousands of genes in a single human cell at scale. To ...
