Scientists have long known that cellular membranes vary in thickness, but measuring those differences inside actual cells has ...
This past year, we explored a lot of new cell biology research—from cancer to plants to microbes, and more! It’s hard to believe what can fit in a year. Yet as we say goodbye to 2025, we want to take ...
Around the same time, Mack Fulwyler, an engineer working at Los Alamos National Laboratory, needed to separate particles, so he drew on existing techniques to create droplets to separate cells from a ...
There are hundreds of cell types in the human body, each with a specific role spelled out in their DNA. In theory, all it ...
The elimination of damaged cell components is essential for the maintenance of the body's tissues and organs. Researchers have made significant findings on mechanisms for the clearing of cellular ...
Cells degrade components that are no longer needed through autophagy. New results show that a weak molecular interaction is essential for this process. By modifying this interaction, it is possible to ...
Every time our body encounters a new disease-causing agent, a crucial defense system called adaptive immunity comes into play ...
Allan Albig receives funding from the National Institute of Health. Think back to that basic biology class you took in high school. You probably learned about organelles, those little “organs” inside ...
Using DNA and proteins, scientists have created new synthetic cells that act like living cells. Blurring the line between artificial and living materials, these cells can be reprogrammed to perform ...
