Researchers have found that peroxiredoxins, a family of antioxidant enzymes central to how cells manage oxidative stress, can assemble into a far wider variety of molecular shapes than scientists ...

Every multicellular organism, from tiny worms to humans, elephants, and whales, needs a way for their cells to connect with each other to form tissues, organs, and organize their overall body plan.

For years, biomolecular condensates were thought to be simple, liquid-like droplets with little internal organization. New ...
