Deployable composite structures and mechanisms represent a frontier in materials engineering, where innovative fabrication techniques and advanced design principles are utilised to create lightweight, ...

Cryo-EM reconstructions of the human ATR–ATRIP complex show how clinical small-molecule inhibitors like VE-822 and RP-3500 bind to and inhibit ATR activity. A research team led by Prof. Gang Cai and ...

The liver has a unique structure, especially at the level of individual cells. Hepatocytes, the main liver cells, release bile into tiny channels called bile canaliculi, which drain into the bile duct ...

This study systematically elucidates the multifunctional transport properties and structural basis of BTR1, a member of the SLC4 family. Using cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) and electrophysiology, ...

Biological motors, which aid microorganism movement in fluids, are composed of two components -- the rotor and stators. Despite much research, the exact molecular mechanism underlying stator function ...
