The cells in human bodies are subject to both chemical and mechanical forces. But until recently, scientists have not ...

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 ...

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

Biological cells often possess thin, hair-like protrusions on their surface known as cilia, which serve various functions ...

Scientists from Germany and Italy have uncovered details of the protective layer that surrounds the fine protrusions of cells ...

Scientists have found a way to study early embryonic development without real embryos. Using CRISPR, they programmed stem cells to self-organize into structures mimicking early embryos. The cells show ...

T here are several tools that can help you get the most from your 3D printing journey, but there’s one you might not have thought about: a good Excel spreadsheet. Whether you en ...
