sc-SPORT offers a way to probe RNA structure at the single-cell level. It reveals cell-to-cell heterogeneity in RNA folding. Previous work on RNA structure in diverse organisms has connected RNA ...

RNA structure is critical for multiple steps in gene regulation. However, how the structures of transcripts differ both within and between individual cells is unknown. Here we develop a SHAPE-inspired ...

Cells are the smallest unit of life and the building blocks for all organisms. Each component of a cell has its own function. Animal and plant cells differ and they have similarities. Nucleus, cell ...

Some of the body's cells stay put for life, while others are free to roam. To move, these migratory cells rely on filopodia—sensitive, finger-like protrusions that reach out from the cell membrane ...

Volvox parent spheroid: Numerous individual cells can be seen across the entire surface as magenta-colored dots. Developing daughter spheroids appear as a few larger clusters with very small dots. The ...

Biomedical research typically follows a familiar path: developing treatments that block, enhance or mutate certain signaling pathways, genes or proteins to change the function of different cells in ...

Humanity is on the verge of entering a new era of space exploration, with the Artemis III mission planning to return humans to the moon in 2026, for the first time in 50 years. Not only will Artemis ...
