Hemifusomes are fused vesicles, or sacs of fluid, that were previously unknown to exist inside cells. They were discovered ...

For over a decade, scientists have made extraordinary progress on the long-held dream of fabricating an entire cell from nonliving molecules and materials.

The vacuole within a plant cell can sometimes take up to 90% of it. The nucleus is one of the most important parts of a cell ...

A new study led by Harvard biologists describes how some sea slugs consume algae and incorporate their photosynthetic organelles into their own bodies. The organelles continue to perform ...

For the first time, scientists have 3-D printed objects within living cells, including a 10-micrometer long elephant and tiny “barcodes” that could help track individual cells. Remarkably, many of the ...

For over a decade, scientists have made extraordinary progress on the long-held dream of fabricating an entire cell from nonliving molecules and materials.

In the realm of high repetition rate lasers, Pockels cells emerge as quintessential components, wielding significant influence over laser performance and functionality. These electro-optic devices, ...

Find out what animal and plant cells are and learn what the function of the cell wall and the nucleus is in this KS3 Bitesize biology article.

"Using machine learning, a subfield of artificial intelligence, we were able to identify specific components of the microbiome that allowed us to predict the clinical outcomes of CAR-T cell ...

The components of blood include plasma, platelets, and red and white blood cells that circulate through the body. Blood supplies essential substances, such as sugars and oxygen, to cells and ...

Components of the system include the lymph nodes, which contain infection-fighting cells called lymphocytes. These lymphocytes are one of many types of leukocyte, or white blood cell.

From the 1940s to 1960s, biochemists worked to separate cells into their molecular components and learn how to determine the 3D structures of proteins and other macromolecules at or near atomic ...
