Researchers at Washington University are discovering the electrochemical properties of biomolecular condensates, which could help in development of treatments for cancer or other diseases.

Biomedical researchers at Washington University have decoded how mechanical forces drive cell behavior in fibrosis.

Researchers at Washington University have developed a method to peer into biomolecular condensates, which could lead to a better understanding of condensate functions and their impairment in cancers and neurodegeneration.

A $2.2 million National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant will fund research in the McKelvey School of Engineering to explore how epithelial cells sense their environments and acquire mechanical memories.

Biologist Kevin Cox, in Arts & Sciences, has discovered a low-cost way to more easily study the detailed makeup of plant cells. The ultimate goal is to help grow better crops, improving food security.

WashU researchers recently identified the first longhorned tick found in suburban St. Louis County. In concert with a local community science effort, Tick Watch STL, the researchers will conduct additional tick investigations in the region.

A one-hour adjustment to the clock on the wall may not sound dramatic. But our biological clock begs to differ, according to biologist Erik Herzog in Arts & Sciences.

The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology named Joseph Jez and Himadri Pakrasi in Arts & Sciences as fellows in recognition of their research, education, mentorship and service to the scientific community.
