Scientists mapping the human body at the cellular level keep running into the same surprise: beneath the apparent chaos of ...

When it’s time for an e. coli bacterium to divide, proteins inside the single-celled organism start to chase each other around. “There are two types of proteins doing this, collectively,” said ...

The study revealed the small-molecule signaling system for mammalian cell-cell communication that combines super-sensitivity with a chassis-friendly, low-burden design, and demonstrated the system's ...

Stripe patterns are commonly seen in nature—for instance, birds and fish move in coordinated flocks and schools, fingerprints form unique designs, and zebras can be identified by their distinctive ...
