A new structure in human cells has been discovered. The structure is a new type of protein complex that the cell uses to attach to its surroundings and proves to play a key part in cell division. A ...

Even after decades of research, biologists are still uncovering surprises about the human body. A team of researchers from the University of Virginia and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) have ...

Researchers say findings help to bridge the structure of the genome to its function in managing how genes are turned on and off.

Tissue structures are determined by both cell-cell adhesion and cell-matrix adhesion, with the latter describing interactions between cells and the extracellular matrix (ECM). The ECM is the ...
