Potential Mechanisms of Zika-linked Microcephaly
Zika virus is an emerging mosquito-borne infectious disease linked to recent outbreaks of birth defects.
RNA Making a Move
Do not expect RNA to sit still. Although structural investigations typically illustrate a single, more or less static picture of an RNA, most RNAs most undergo conformational changes to exert their cellular function.
The Best of Two Cells: Hybrid Membrane Coatings
A new hybrid nanomaterial combines membranes from multiple cell types, enabling the fabrication of membrane-coated nanoparticles with an increased number of functionalities.
Combining Fluorescence and Electron Microscopy for 3D Cell Imaging
Combining the high-throughput and large scale analysis of fluorescence microscopy with the enhanced resolution capabilities of electron microscopy can allow imaging of cellular interactions and mechanisms without being limited by resolution.
Essential But Toxic – Copper Homeostasis
Humans are rich in copper. And so are all other living organisms. But copper is toxic, therefore, it has to be kept at bay to counteract its cytotoxic effects in live cells – how do we stay healthy?
