Brazilian researchers have identified previously unknown forms of a protein linked to breast cancer. The discovery ...

Human cells are extremely small and tightly packed – at about 20 micrometers across, roughly one-fifth the width of a human ...

Scientists suggest increasing what is understood about exocytosis could one day inform many fields of applied science.

Custom polymer structures can now be 3D printed inside living cells using laser-based fabrication, opening paths to intracellular sensors, cell tracking tags, and embedded microlasers.

Lysosomes are the recycling centers of human cells. Larger molecules are broken down inside the membrane-enclosed vesicles. Malfunctions can lead to neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's.

Ushikuvirus is a newly identified giant virus that infects amoebas, adding to a growing group of oversized viruses that scientists believe may have played an important role in the emergence of complex ...
