Researchers have solved a cellular mystery that may lead to better therapies for colorectal and other types of cancer. A professor of pediatrics-developmental biology and an assistant professor of ...

Cells constantly shift and transform, triggering the complex choreography that shapes living organisms. Whether dividing into new cells or sculpting an embryo, these tiny movements rely on chemical ...

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 ...

Among the many marvels of life is the cell's ability to divide and thus enable organisms to grow and renew themselves. For ...

In a groundbreaking study on the synthesis of cellulose—a major constituent of all plant cell walls—a team of Rutgers University-New Brunswick researchers have captured images of the microscopic ...

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

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

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

Scientists discover "electric spiking" communication in previously thought to be mute cells, paving the way for bioelectric ...

The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI) announced a new grand challenge to develop groundbreaking imaging technologies to transform how scientists observe, measure and understand living cells and ...

In vertebrate retinas, specialized photoreceptors responsible for color vision (cone cells) arrange themselves in patterns ...

Decades of research and news articles espousing an “obesity epidemic” and tons of weight-loss products launched under the ...
