An international research team involving the German Primate Center—Leibniz Institute for Primate Research (DPZ), Hannover ...

A research team has developed a groundbreaking deep learning-based method for analyzing the cytoskeleton -- the structural framework inside cells -- more accurately and efficiently than ever before.

Just like your body has a skeleton, every cell in your body has a skeleton—a cytoskeleton to be precise. This provides cells with mechanical resilience, as well as assisting with cell division. To ...

Most of us will probably be able to recall at least vaguely that a molecule called ATP is essential for making our bodies move, but this molecule is only a small part of a much larger system. Although ...

An artist’s depiction of an Asgard archaeon, based on cryo-electron tomography data: the cell body and appendages feature thread-like skeletal structures, similar to those found in complex cells with ...

How did the complex organisms on Earth arise? This is one of the big open questions in biology. A collaboration between the working groups of Christa Schleper at the University of Vienna and Martin ...

As eukaryotic cells started to form, eukaryotic traits may have emerged in early cells about one billion years before the ...
