RNA is thought to be a stay-at-home kind of molecule, often comfortably confined within the cell’s interior. So, when RNA molecules were detected on the surface of several cell types, researchers ...

The benefits of dietary fiber extend beyond digestive health, as dietary fiber-derived metabolites produced by gut microbiota ...

Cells on the inner surface of the intestine are replaced every few days. But, how does this work? It was always assumed that cells leave the intestinal surface because excess cells are pushed out. In ...

Nucleocapsid protein (N), or nucleoprotein (NP) coats the genome of most RNA viruses, protecting and shielding RNA from cytosolic RNAases and innate immune sensors, and plays a key role in virion ...

The cell-surface proteome (CSP) defines the neuronal phenotype, and its composition dictates how neurons connect and communicate with one another and with other cell types. Yet the cell-surface ...

The cell-surface proteome is spatially dynamic and changes with the state of the cell, which in turn determines its activity in health and disease. As part of our In Focus on single-cell spatial ...

Most influenza viruses enter human or animal cells through specific pathways on the cells' surface. Researchers have now discovered that certain human flu viruses and avian flu viruses can also use a ...

Researchers at the Federal University of São Paulo (UNIFESP) in Brazil have identified a molecule on the surface of cells that could be a promising therapeutic target against cancer. This molecule ...

Short ultraviolet/ozone (UVO) treatment optimizes cell adhesion on plastic culture substrates by selectively enriching adhesion proteins, as reported by researchers from Institute of Science Tokyo.

In an assay focusing on active virus recruitment rather than passive binding, STED microscopy reveals early association of virions to CD151, indicating its early involvement in viral entry platforms ...

A new study reveals a simple and fast, label-free way to distinguish aggressive cancer cells by how they physically behave. Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem have developed this novel ...
