A simulated cell in the early stages of division. Left half shows cytoplasm (blue cubes), mRNA degradation machinery molecules (pink), and sugar transporters (brown). Right half adds the membrane ...

The researchers, led by chemistry professor Zan Luthey-Schulten at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, present their findings in the journal Cell. The team simulated a living cell at ...

My current research includes building coarse-grained models and simulations of cytoskeletal filaments and their associated motor proteins with the aim of better understanding the role of cytoskeleton ...

The hepatitis B virus (HBV) affects the liver and can cause acute or chronic illness. The virus’s life cycle involves entering liver cells and producing new virus cells to trigger infections in other ...
