One of the most well-studied cellular responses is how they react during times of stress, such as when the temperature gets ...

But how cells coordinate their actions to whip cilia back and forth and where the energy driving this motion comes from has been unclear. To help answer these questions, researchers at UTSW and ...

Some of the body's cells stay put for life, while others are free to roam. To move, these migratory cells rely on ...

In its effort to correlate genomic structure with gene function, the 4D Nucleome Consortium (4DN), led by Job Dekker, Ph.D., ...

Researchers have developed synthetic genes that function like the genes in living cells. The artificial genes can build intracellular structures through a cascading sequence that builds ...

Prior to using this narrative, have learners create their own model of a cell in their notebooks using whatever background information or experience they might have. While exploring the narrative, ...

The story of the cell cycle is often told only through the perspective of the chromosomes as they replicate and then divide. This resource beautifully illustrates the role of the cytoskeleton in that ...

Proteins are essential macromolecules that play a crucial role in virtually all biological processes. They are the building blocks of life, performing a wide range of functions within organisms, from ...

Hormones coordinate different body functions by carrying messages through the bloodstream to target cells and tissues. Hormonal imbalances occur through inadequate or excess hormone synthesis, which ...

Estrogen is known as an important hormone, and it can control many functions by regulating the activity of hundreds of genes.
