Cells have more mini ‘organs’ than researchers thought
Membraneless organelles, also called biomolecular condensates, are changing how scientists think about protein chemistry, various diseases and even the origin of life.
Join the pioneers of ferroptosis at cell death conference
Meet Brent Stockwell, Xuejun Jiang and Jin Ye — the co-chairs of the ASBMB’s 2025 meeting on metabolic cross talk and biochemical homeostasis research.
Biobots arise from the cells of dead organisms
Given the right conditions, certain types of cells are able to self-assemble into new lifeforms after the organism they were once part of has died.
Bridging the gap – enhancing and unifying bone RNA-seq data
Researchers aimed to increase the number of osteoblasts and osteocytes collected and combine their data with other studies to help standardize nomenclature.
