At the heart of our cells, a previously unknown structure has just been identified, shedding new light on essential ...

In the vast and often unseen world of microscopic life, a recent discovery may force scientists to rethink what it means to ...

Cornell researchers have found a new and potentially more accurate way to see what proteins are doing inside living ...

During animal development, cells divide and arrange themselves in a coordinated way, eventually forming the embryo. The cells ...

Cells once thought passive are now seen as sculptors. Their choreography may explain how tissues form and fail. A new study ...

Scientists have long used fluorescent dyes—which emit light—to research cell structures and activities. By attaching ...

In the frozen reaches of the planet—glaciers, mountaintops, and icy groundwater—scientists have uncovered strange ...

creating asymmetric cell-shell structures naturally according to changes in cell shapes. For example, a shell that completely encases the dividing cell may form, but structures where the shell is ...

Cornell researchers have found a new and potentially more accurate way to see what proteins are doing inside living cells - using the cells' own components as built-in sensors.

Neutrophils are the most abundant type of immune cell and serve as the immune system's first responders. One of their key ...

For roughly 400 years, microscopes have allowed us to observe increasingly smaller details. Today's most advanced instruments ...
