It was suggested 1 more than thirty years ago that Watson–Crick base pairing might be used
for the rational design of nanometre-scale structures from nucleic acids. Since then, and …

The skin barrier is fundamental to terrestrial life and its evolution; it upholds homeostasis
and protects against the environment. Skin barrier capacity is controlled by lipids that fill the …

Artificial nanoparticles accumulate a protein corona layer in biological fluids, which significantly
influences their bioactivity. As nanosized obligate intracellular parasites, viruses share …

Electron tomography has been used for analyzing the active layer in a polymer solar cell, a
bulk heterojunction of an alternating copolymer of fluorene and a derivative of fullerene. The …

The synaptonemal complex transiently stabilizes pairing interactions between homologous
chromosomes during meiosis. Assembly of the synaptonemal complex is mediated through …

The Balbiani ring 3 (BR3) gene contains 38 introns, and more than half of them are co‐transcriptionally
excised. We have determined the in situ structure of the active BR3 gene by …

The nuclear poly(A)-binding protein, PABPN1, has been previously shown to regulate mRNA
poly(A) tail length and to interact with selected proteins involved in mRNA synthesis and …

In vertebrates, skin upholds homeostasis by preventing body water loss. The skin's permeability
barrier is located intercellularly in the stratum corneum and consists of stacked lipid …

We describe a novel approach for the accurate alignment of images in electron tomography
of vitreous cryo-sections. Quantum dots, suspended in organic solvents at cryo-temperatures…

A specific messenger ribonucleoprotein (RNP) particle, Balbiani ring (BR) granules in the
dipteran Chironomus tentans, can be visualized during passage through the nuclear pore …
