During pregnancy, maternal and fetal cells migrate back and forth across the placenta, with fetal cells entering the mother's ...
Think back to that basic biology class you took in high school. You probably learned about organelles, those little “organs” inside cells that form compartments with individual functions. For example, ...
Scientists have transformed enigmatic cell structures, called vaults, into storage units for messenger-RNA molecules made in ...
Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles whose acidic lumen (pH 4.5–5.0) is required for degradation. This luminal acidity is ...
An international group of researchers led by Pompeu Fabra University has discovered the nanomachine that controls ...
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 ...
Scientists have found that blocking microglia (specialist immune cells in the brain) prevents infant forgetting ("infantile ...
Spatial proteomics is the study of the spatial distribution of the proteins within cells and tissues. The subcellular localization of proteins is intrinsic to cellular function, making spatial ...
The brain is shielded from many substances by the blood-brain barrier, but this shield is not impenetrable. There are immune cells in the brain called microglia that can respond to potential invaders ...
Cells do more than carry out chemical reactions. New theoretical work suggests they may also generate usable electrical ...
If you've heard deep bass, the roar of a jet engine, or rumbling thunder, you may have felt it in your body. Our cells have a variety of ways to sense mechanical forces, including those that can be ...
