The laboratory of Ege Kavalali, professor and chair of the Department of Pharmacology, published a paper in Nature Communications that determined that liquid-liquid phase separation plays a key role ...

For years, biomolecular condensates were thought to be simple, liquid-like droplets with little internal organization. New ...

Researchers at Scripps Research have identified a hidden filamentous architecture inside cellular droplets called biomolecular condensates, a finding that could reshape how scientists design drugs ...

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, ...

Researchers discovered that immune-related proteins form membrane-bound rings that help regulate cell death signals, ensuring ...

In the evolutionary history of life, the ability of a cell to separate its inner world from the external environment was an important turning point. The so-called plasma membrane lets cells control ...

A remarkably small bacterium containing fewer than 500 genes serves as the basis for one of the most detailed digital life ...

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 ...
