Scientists have uncovered details of the protective layer that surrounds the fine protrusions of cells. Biological cells often possess thin, hair-like protrusions on their surface known as cilia, ...

A team of researchers has developed an innovative imaging platform that promises to improve our understanding of cellular structures at the nanoscale. This platform, called soTILT3D for ...

Structure of a cilium of the green alga Clamydomonas reinhardtii (tomographic segmentation): the cilium is covered by a protein layer (FMG 1). Underneath lies the inner glycocalyx and the ciliary ...

In living organisms, protein molecules with different chemical structures called proteoforms, are produced from a single gene to perform a variety of physiological protein functions. It has been known ...

They disable our defenses and hijack the cellular machinery in order to multiply successfully. For example, the herpes simplex virus 1, which causes blister-like skin rashes, and influenza viruses ...

The research is opening new frontiers in pest control and evolutionary biology. An international group of scientists has uncovered a strange tubular structure within Profftella, a bacterium that lives ...

The list below offers a representative sample of the courses you can expect in the study of cellular and molecular biology at DePauw. From theoretical foundations to practical experiences, these ...

Cells all require the transport of materials to maintain their function. In nerve cells, a tiny motor made of protein called ...
