A cell is fundamentally a container—a vessel that encapsulates life at the most basic level. Many biologists believe ...

Ribosomes don’t just make proteins—they can sense when something’s wrong. When they collide, they send out stress signals ...

Researchers at Texas A&M University have developed a method to rejuvenate old and damaged human cells by replacing their ...

The first, obviously, was making functional electronic devices smaller than cells that can circulate in our blood. “Previous ...

During cell division, adherent animal cells round up to create the precise spatial geometry required for accurate chromosome ...

Scientists have uncovered an unexpected function for a crucial protein involved in cell division. Reported in two consecutive publications, the finding challenges long-accepted models and standard ...

Researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine say they have used a "zap-and-freeze" technology to watch hard-to-see brain cell ...

The newly described microbe represents a world of parasitic, intercellular biodiversity only beginning to be revealed by ...

The central nervous system (CNS) is a finely tuned network that relies on the balance between neuronal survival and tightly ...

In an effort to reveal the inner workings of a protein that serves as a cell’s damage detection system, scientists at Johns ...

Down syndrome is caused by an error in cell division during development. Individuals receive three copies of chromosome 21 instead of the typical two copies, resulting in duplicates of the genes ...

Scientists from Duke-NUS Medical School and their collaborators have created one of the most comprehensive single cell maps of the developing human brain. The atlas captures nearly every cell type, ...
