Using cryo-electron microscopy—a technique that images flash-frozen proteins with an electron beam—researchers captured multiple conformational snapshots of the cold sensing channel, TRPM8, as it ...

TRPV4, an ion channel, is found in neurons classically associated with touch, called Aβ low-threshold mechanoreceptors. New research indicates that TRPV4 can generate itch, but it also helps trigger a ...

Organized lipid nanoparticles in which the cargo is neatly structured are shown on the right, and amorphous lipid ...

Mycobacteria have evolved sophisticated ways to hijack human immune cells and avoid being destroyed. Specifically, they ...

Thymine modified polymer for delivering DNA into cells. A thymine modified compound, poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG), is bound ...

Adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, such as autism and Down syndrome, experience substantially higher rates of anxiety and depression than the general population of ...

Cleaner fish interacted with a mirror in their tank in a way that suggests ‘contingency testing’ intelligence, a higher form of smarts typically found in mammals. This finding coupled with faster self ...
