LMU scientists have developed a method to measure the activity of genes more efficiently and thus gain a better understanding of biological processes. All cells have the same genes, but for their ...

Organisms are composed of cells, some of which are constantly replaced, while others stay in place for a long time. For many years, scientists studied cell biology and tissue function by analyzing the ...

Systems biology is a rapidly evolving discipline that examines the complex interactions underlying biological function ...

Understanding embryo development requires comprehending how a single fertilized cell, the zygote, embarks on a remarkable transformation into a complex multicellular organism. Through precise cell ...

Predicting the social and behavioural impact of future technologies before they are achieved would enable us to guide their development and regulation before these impacts get entrenched.

Microscopic droplets fluoresce bright blue with specks of green. Five droplets in this image (two at the top, two near the center, and one near the bottom) fluoresce blue in varying brightness; each ...

Advances in structural biology have allowed scientists to determine molecular structures with atomic-level detail, sometimes yielding static snapshots that do not reflect the dynamism of proteins.

Many spatial biology researchers rely on two-dimensional tools, which section the cellular architecture and processes occurring within 3D tissues into flat layers. Three-dimensional multiomic analysis ...

A visualization of a new molecular-glue degrader bound to cereblon and a protein target of interest. A new degrader (shown in orange) forms a complex with cereblon (shown in blue, purple, green, and ...
