A new kind of microscope is giving scientists a way to watch life inside cells with a clarity that feels almost unfair.

Life begins with a single fertilized cell that gradually transforms into a multicellular organism. This process requires ...

An international group of researchers led by Pompeu Fabra University has discovered the nanomachine that controls ...

Human cells are extremely small and tightly packed – at about 20 micrometers across, roughly one-fifth the width of a human ...

Scientists suggest increasing what is understood about exocytosis could one day inform many fields of applied science.

The discovery that tissues use electricity to expel unhealthy cells is part of a surge of renewed interest in the currents ...

Custom polymer structures can now be 3D printed inside living cells using laser-based fabrication, opening paths to intracellular sensors, cell tracking tags, and embedded microlasers.

Life begins with a single fertilized cell that gradually transforms into a multicellular organism. This process requires precise coordination; otherwise, the embryo could develop serious complications ...

When a maize plant is attacked by the fungus Ustilago maydis, tumor-like tissue growths occur at the site of infection. How the pathogen causes this response in its host has long been unknown. But a ...

SLAC researchers develop an approach to better guide the preparation of cell slices for cryogenic electron tomography imaging ...
