Although the organoids aren't actually "thinking," the researchers' new tool--which detects neural activity using organoids--could provide a method for understanding human brain function

Rather than relying on optics, the microscopy system offers a chemically encoded way to map biomolecules’ relative positions

Study reveals the missing part of a cycle that regulates the build-up or breakdown of supporting elements of the cell

Researchers detail the first-ever successful use of a technique called BONCAT to isolate active microbes present in a sample of soil

An algorithm stitches multiple datasets into a single “panorama,” which could provide new insights for biological studies

Racing to understand why some species repair injured nerves while humans do not

The team determined the first crystal structure for a neuropeptide Y receptor, deciphering the thousands of carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, and other atoms involved with it and how they bind to one another

A multi-institutional project to understand one of the major targets of human drug design has produced new insights into how structural communication works in a cell component called a G protein-coupled receptor
