A study focusing on analyzing cell models found universality in their movement—an important discovery that could impact both ...

For successful cell division, chromosomal DNA needs to be packed into compact rod-shaped structures. Defects in this process can lead to cell death or diseases like cancer. A new study has shown how ...

Organelles in cells were originally often independent cells, which were incorporated by host cells and lost their ...

Now, researchers at MIT have discovered a way to manipulate these early cellular motions using light, providing a new tool to ...

Scientists at EMBL have captured how human chromosomes fold into their signature rod shape during cell division, using a ...

The team recorded 24 hours of the cellular construction process, revealing surprising new details about how plant cell walls ...

In a groundbreaking study on the synthesis of cellulose -- a major constituent of all plant cell walls -- a team has captured images of the microscopic process of cell-wall building continuously over ...

New research sheds light on one of the biggest questions in biology: where did complex life come from? The answer may lie ...

A growing body of work suggests that cell metabolism — the chemical reactions that provide energy and building materials — ...

Researchers have found that some cells form new multicellular structures with functions that defy their original biological ...

Researchers use light stimuli to shape cells and develop a model that explains the mechanisms – with implications for synthetic biology.

Human biology is not black and white. Although newborns are typically categorized as male or female at birth based on visible ...
