Within multicellular organisms, cells build connections with each other forming cell layers that cover the surfaces of tissues and organs and separate structures in the body. For example, the skin ...

The skin is the largest organ in the human body, and its outermost part, called the epidermis, is replenished every three weeks. The cells fueling this renewal of the epidermal stem cells, found in ...

Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (Fraunhofer ISE) in Germany have achieved a power conversion efficiency of 46.7% for a III-V concentrating photovoltaic cell (CPV) with ...

Connexin 43 (C×43α1) gap junction has been shown to have an essential role in mediating functional coupling of neural crest cells and in modulating neural crest cell migration. Here, we showed that ...

The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) envelope (E) protein has a C-terminus with a PDZ binding motif (PBM) that targets PDZ (PSD-95/Dlg/ZO ...

Scientists led by Saudi Arabia’s King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) have fabricated a perovskite-perovskite-silicon triple-junction solar cell with a new passivation strategy ...

Every new life begins after a genetic shuffle. When organisms make eggs or sperm, maternal and paternal chromosomes pair up ...

Researchers at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) have found that cells from triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) form direct connections with nearby fat cells to access energy needed ...
