From secret mushroom worlds to extreme close-ups of cell motion, these photographs represent how, in science, things often ...

University of Cambridge scientists have used human stem cells to create three-dimensional embryo-like structures that ...

For decades, scientists have pushed the limits of microscopy to capture sharper and deeper views of the brain. Traditional light-based systems can map the cortex in detail but struggle to reach deeper ...

A toxic protein forms dynamic pores in the membranes of brain cells—and that may be the key to understanding how Parkinson's disease develops. This is the conclusion of a new study from Aarhus ...

To figure out how they slither through substances that should, in theory, resist their movement, a team led by Kenta Ishimoto ...

The image shows an α-synuclein oligomer (blue) partially inserted into a cell membrane (left). Over time, it forms a pore (right) that allows molecules to pass through for a short period. The oligomer ...
