In a recent study published in the journal PLoS Biology, researchers investigated the role of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2)-containing defensive exosomes, or 'defensosomes' against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections.

Polio cases have been detected in the US, and it's been detected in UK and Israel wastewater. How can an eradicated virus suddenly come back?

Ebola virus causes serious infections in humans and in fatal cases, damage and dysfunction of the liver is often present, suggesting that the liver plays a decisive role in disease outcome.

From life-like faces to elaborate nature scenes, tattoos are a true art form. Although people have decorated their bodies for millennia for ceremonial and religious reasons, many people today ador ...

When you think of proteins – the enzymes, signaling molecules, and structural components in every living thing – you might think of single strands of amino acids, organized like beads on a string.

The study of cells has been enhanced by data from cutting-edge electron microscopes for decades, and electron microscopy will likely remain important in cells well into the future.

In the aftermath of a stroke or TBI, a group of amino acids that typically support brain function contribute significantly to the brain destruction that can follow both these injuries, scientists report.

A group of independent German scientists found toxic components—mostly metallic—in all the COVID vaccine samples they analyzed, "without ...

Semiconductor technology is inherently small, traditional mechanical test methods are not suitable to assess mechanical properties of individual components. Here, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) based micromechanical characterization techniques offer two considerable advantages.

Using UT Southwestern's Cryo-Electron Microscopy Facility, researchers have captured images of an enzyme for Wnt lipidation, which is pivotal to human development and cancer and crucial for Wnt signaling activation.
