Researchers developed a new machine learning method that, given a relevant amino acid sequence, can automatically predict the location of a protein in any human cell line down to the single-cell level ...

Maintaining cellular order is a major logistical challenge: Individual mammalian cells contain billions of protein molecules, ...

The average human cell contains roughly 10,000 different proteins. Existing as several to millions of copies in each cell, proteins mediate all manner of tasks, including chemical transformations, ...

Scientists have attempted to map the human cell since the first microscope was invented more than 400 years ago. But many components of the cell still remain uncharted. "We know each of the proteins ...

Cells are not immortal, and that is a good thing. After a certain number of divisions, many human cells stop multiplying for good. They enter a state called replicative senescence, where growth ceases ...

There are hundreds of cell types in the human body, each with a specific role spelled out in their DNA. In theory, all it ...

Organoids are three-dimensional miniature models of organs, grown in a dish. They have become a valuable tool for studying ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA – A protein located in the wrong part of a cell can contribute to several diseases, such as Alzheimer’s, cystic fibrosis, and cancer. But there are about 70,000 different proteins and ...
