DNA's iconic double helix does more than "just" store genetic information. Under certain conditions, it can temporarily fold ...

In 2015, researchers at UC San Francisco found a structure inside of tumor cells that biologists had never seen before. Even more surprising, a closer examination of the structure revealed that it ...

Tertiary lymphoid structures are formations that occur outside of the lymphatic system. They contain immune cells and are similar in structure and function to lymph nodes and other lymphoid structures ...

Inside human cells, biology has pulled off the ultimate packing job, figuring out how to fit six feet of DNA into a nucleus about one-tenth as wide as a human hair while making sure the all-important ...

A team led by surgeon-scientist Dr. Vinod Balachandran identified the molecular pathway involved in the formation of tertiary lymphoid structures. Therapeutically targeting this pathway could ...

Bacterial biofilms contain a level of structural organisation that we thought was unique to plants and animals. Biofilms, slimy clumps of microorganisms like bacteria and fungi, were long thought to ...
