The functions of biomolecules, including lipids, nucleic acids and especially proteins are determined to a great extent by their structure. This structure–function relationship is a foundation of many ...

Gardening Landscape structures provide function and beauty Incorporate arbors, trellises and other structures into your designs when planning new or updating existing gardens and landscapes. These ...

Inside human cells, biology has pulled off the ultimate packing job, figuring out how to fit six feet of DNA into a nucleus about one-tenth as wide as a human hair while making sure the all-important ...

Tertiary lymphoid structures are formations that occur outside of the lymphatic system. They contain immune cells and are similar in structure and function to lymph nodes and other lymphoid structures ...

The capsid of the hepatitis B virus has a very unique structure. It is composed of many monomers which interact to provide flexibility to its structure and function. Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a ...

Researchers at Moffitt Cancer Center have developed a novel biomaterial-based system that induces the formation of tertiary lymphoid-like structures (TLSs). These immune cell clusters are increasingly ...

New biomaterial platform: The system uses a biodegradable chitosan-based hydrogel combined with lipid-coated microparticles that release immune-stimulating chemokines over time. Immune structure ...

A team of researchers led by HHMI Investigator Michael Rosen has captured the most detailed images yet of the molecules in synthetic chromatin condensates — droplet-like structures of compacted DNA.
