Gene therapy holds the promise of preventing and curing disease by manipulating gene expression within a patient's cells. However, to be effective, the new gene must make it into a cell's nucleus. The ...

In living cells, regulation of the electrochemical environment is supposed to be managed by ion channels—protein complexes that reside in cell membranes and assume definite shapes. So, it’s surprising ...

A new international study led by Prof. Carmit Levy of the Department of Human Genetics and Biochemistry at the Gray Faculty of Medical & Health Sciences at Tel Aviv University finds that melanoma ...

Although DNA is tightly packed and safeguarded within the cell nucleus, it remains continually at risk of damage from normal ...

The Single Cellome Unit SU10 allows materials, like genome editing tools, to be delivered directly to the cytoplasm or nucleus of specific single cells. It is also capable of single-cell sampling. The ...

Human cells are extremely small and tightly packed – at about 20 micrometers across, ...

UC Davis researchers Gant Luxton, Daniel Starr and Xiangyi Ding have used tiny fluorescent particles to study what is going on inside the cells of Caenorhabditis worms. They found that the cells are ...

Cancer cells have softer membranes than healthy cells. New nanoparticles exploit this physical difference to fuse selectively with tumors and deliver mRNA therapy with minimal off-target effects.

Biotium launched GlycoLinerTM cell surface labeling kits using self-catalyzing aminooxy chemistry to tag glycoproteins at ...
