Proteins are the molecular machines of cells. They are produced in protein factories called ribosomes based on their blueprint—the genetic information. Here, the basic building blocks of proteins, ...

Imagine watching an embryo form in real time, each cell dividing, moving, and finding its place. Today’s advanced microscopes can capture these frames—but turning them into accurate, usable maps of ...

Complex sugar-protein molecules that sense external messages to help a cell grow or respond to its environment can now be tracked and analyzed, using a Nobel Prize-winning chemistry technique. A ...
