Living cells are highly organized, yet they are not assembled using rigid blueprints or by following a predetermined plan.

Understanding how microscopic interactions between proteins in cells produce large-scale organization and asymmetry is a fundamental question in cell biology.

Living cells are highly organized, yet they are not assembled using rigid blueprints or by following a predetermined plan. Instead, order emerges on ...

Using technologies like electron microscopy (EM) it is possible to capture molecular mechanisms in great detail, but not when these mechanisms are currently moving. The field of cryomicroscopy ...

The experimental image shows two proteins -- myosin (cyan) and actin (red) -- in a chick embryo during gastrulation, highlighting the main body axes and the dominant force-generating regions (cyan).

An electron microscopy study revealed key details of actin filaments, which are essential structural elements of cells and muscles. Actin filaments -- protein structures critical to living movement ...

Mouse muscle cells like those seen here can grow up to 20 micrometers across, or roughly 3.5 times smaller than the width of a human hair.

The novel cardiac myosin inhibitor aficamten improved peak oxygen uptake in symptomatic obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), the pivotal SEQUOIA-HCM trial showed. At 24 weeks, the mean ...
