The upper size limit on cell-penetrating drug molecules may be much higher than medicinal chemists had thought. A research team reports that molecules believed to be much too large to diffuse across ...
Proteins long known to be essential for hearing have been hiding a talent: they also act as gatekeepers that shuffle fatty ...
Mitochondria are essential for cell survival, repair, and adaptation. Not only do they generate most of the energy needed ...
(Nanowerk News) Drawing inspiration from natural sensory systems, an MIT-led team has designed a novel sensor that could detect the same molecules that naturally occurring cell receptors can identify.
