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

Cell division is an essential process for all life on earth, yet the exact mechanisms by which cells divide during early ...

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

The image shows a metaphase spindle in a human ovarian cancer cell, surrounded by interphase cells. Microtubules are color-coded according to imaging depth, and chromosomes are shown in gray. Most ...

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 ...

Novo Nordisk is ending all work in cell therapy, including a Type 1 diabetes program, amid CEO Maziar Mike Doustdar's reorganization. As part of the move, the company is laying off nearly all of the ...

Creating human eggs from adult cells just got one step closer to reality. A technique used in cloning combined with fertilization and a bit of chemical coaxing caused human skin cells to produce eggs ...

Julie Phillippi receives funding from the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute. You probably know someone who is affected by cancer. This disease results when cells divide uncontrollably and can ...

How misfolded proteins are segregated and cleared is a significant question in cell biology, since clearance of these aggregates can protect against pathologies that may otherwise arise. The authors ...

For over a century, biology students have been taught a simple idea about cell division. Before splitting into two identical daughter cells, a parent cell becomes round – like a sphere – and then ...

If you took high school biology, you probably learned about cell division: a crucial process in all life forms officially called mitosis. For over one hundred years, students have learned that during ...
