“For many cell-based therapies, progress comes from connecting the right pieces at the right moment,” Klein said. “When biology, computation, and the right support come together, you can start to move ...

Protein-Protein Interactions (PPIs) are critical for biological systems to function properly. Strong interactions maintain structural integrity and function, whereas weaker interactions enable ...

A novel method to manipulate the inner structure of cells connects several scientific fields and could represent a ...

Innovations in imaging and genetic engineering are coming together to probe the biophysics of cytoplasm inside living animals.

When a cell divides, it performs a feat of microscopic choreography—duplicating its DNA and depositing it into two new cells.

Tardigrades are famously tough little critters, and good for them – but what’s in it for us? We might now be closer to hijacking their superpowers for our own benefit, with a new study finding that ...

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 ...

The chemical reactions on which life depends need a place to happen. That place is the cell. All the things which biology recognises as indisputably alive are either cells or conglomerations of cells ...

Researchers are investigating how our biology changes as we grow older — and whether there are ways to stop it. By Dana G. Smith According to some estimates, consumers spend $62 billion a year on ...

When a pathogen like a dangerous virus invades the human body, it usually has to enter human cells to cause an illness. Influenza has to latch onto a receptor on the surface of a human cell so it can ...
