Within tissues, cells are embedded in complex, three-dimensional structures known as the extracellular matrix. Their biomechanical interactions play a crucial role in numerous biological processes.

A new microscope is capable of live imaging of biological processes in such detail that moving protein complexes are visible. In Nijmegen, the world's first microscope has been installed that is ...

(Phys.org)—The hydrophobic effect is a fundamental aspect of biochemical processes. Hydrophilic, or water-loving, solutes tend to be miscible in water, while hydrophobic, or water-fearing, solutes ...

The ocean plays a crucial role in the storage of carbon dioxide (CO2). The so-called marine biological carbon pump is an important research topic in this context. However a key component is often ...

A landmark review published today in Genomic Psychiatry challenges researchers to fundamentally reconsider how the field ...

Metabolism can be defined as the total amount of biochemical reactions in a biological organism that maintain the healthy operation of cells. Furthermore, it provides the energy necessary for ...

Vertebrate lonesome kinase mediates a key interaction between neurons involved in injury-induced pain and helps explain ...
