Scientists can peer into cells to get a limited view of their activity using microscopes and other tools. However, cells and ...

Researchers have developed a way to 3D print custom micrometer-sized structures directly into the interior of living cells.

For the first time, high-resolution time-lapse videos of tiny bits of living plants show how they assemble their protective cell walls, researchers report March 21 in Science Advances. The image ...

A newly created cell model of the amniotic sac could reveal new insights into early pregnancy, as well as generate helpful products for medical use. When you purchase through links on our site, we may ...

Biology has always been an unruly science. Cells divide when they want to. Genes switch on and off like temperamental lights.

Research on organic solar cells has been conducted for a long time. Recent advancements in understanding their molecular structures are now paving the way for the development of highly efficient solar ...

MIT researchers discovered that the genome’s 3D structure doesn’t vanish during cell division as previously thought. Instead, tiny loops called microcompartments remain (and even strengthen) while ...

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 ...
