Cells require lipids to maintain their integrity and separate cellular functions for appropriate homeostasis and regulation. Advances in lipid detection methods and techniques to probe lipid functions ...

The exocyst complex is a highly conserved hetero‐octameric assembly that plays a fundamental role in the tethering of secretory vesicles to the plasma membrane, thereby directing the process of ...

Researchers discovered that a long-misunderstood protein plays a key role in helping chromosomes latch onto the right “tracks” during cell division. Instead of acting like a motor, it works more like ...

Five years ago, Nobel laureate Carolyn Bertozzi, PhD, and her team described novel small RNA-glycan conjugates, glycosylated RNAs (glycoRNAs), on the cell surface. These small non-coding RNAs have ...

Teemu Miettinen discusses his innovative method for measuring intracellular water, revealing its critical role in cell ...

A tiny antibody component could fundamentally transform the treatment of cystic fibrosis: For the first time, researchers ...

As we age, stem cells responsible for maintaining our blood and immune systems gradually lose their resilience, but why this happens has remained unclear. A novel study from Japan and the US turns the ...

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have discovered how to reverse aging in blood-forming stem cells in mice by correcting defects in the stem cell's lysosomes. The breakthrough ...

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 ...

Researchers have built a synthetic-cell platform that can be chemically adjusted in real time, sidestepping a long-standing bottleneck in artificial cell design. The system, based on coacervate ...
