Jasmine Plummer shares the spatial omics techniques she has developed to investigate the cellular processes underlying disease.

To study biological processes, scientists often take snapshots of the molecules in cells, such as proteins and nucleotides, at specific points in time. In spatial biology, they can leverage molecular ...

Cytochrome c is a pivotal haemoprotein that resides within the mitochondrial intermembrane space, where it fulfils essential roles in cellular respiration and the regulation of apoptosis. Functioning ...

Autophagy—meaning "self-eating" in Greek—is a fundamental cellular mechanism that preserves cell health by recycling and degrading worn-out or dysfunctional components. Serving as an essential ...

Supporting cell communication processes is critical for maintaining human performance and long-term health.”— Hunter ...

Scientists have transformed RNA, a biological molecule present in all living cells, into a biosensor that can detect tiny chemicals relevant to human health. Research by scientists centers on RNA, a ...

Scientists can peer into cells to get a limited view of their activity using microscopes and other tools. However, cells and the molecular events within them are dynamic, and developmental processes, ...

Researchers at Clemson University and the Medical University of South Carolina report that their latest study sheds new light on how the body handles cholesterol at the cellular level. According to ...
