Scientists develop tool to study a deadly parasite’s histone code
(PhysOrg.com) -- In the Japanese art of paper folding, a series of folds can make the same sheet of paper into a ballerina or baby elephant. But try unfolding the baby elephant and making it into a ballerina. It’s like trying ...

A budding role for a cellular dynamo
Actin, a globular protein found in all eukaryotic cells, is a workhorse that varies remarkably little from baker's yeast to the human body. Part of the cytoskeleton, actin assembles into networks of filaments that give the ...

Molecule necessary for DNA repairs also halts them
(Phys.org) -- Repairing DNA breaks can save a cell’s life—but shutting off the repair machinery can be just as critical. How cells accomplish this feat was unknown. However, new research by Johns Hopkins scientists, ...

Multi-compartment globular structures assembled from polymer-based materials may soon serve as cell prototypes
The cell is a host of many complex reaction pathways. These pathways usually do not interfere with each other because they are contained within membrane-bound compartments, known as organelles. The lipid membrane is extremely ...

Researchers illuminate laminin's role in cancer formation
Laminin, long thought to be only a structural support protein in the microenvironment of breast and other epithelial tissue, is “famous” for its cross-like shape. However, laminin is far more than ...
