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, ...
Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles whose acidic lumen (pH 4.5–5.0) is required for degradation. This luminal acidity is ...
Scientists have transformed enigmatic cell structures, called vaults, into storage units for messenger-RNA molecules made in ...
Pregnancy creates a lifelong biological link as cells pass between mother and child and remain in the body for decades.
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 ...
An international group of researchers led by Pompeu Fabra University has discovered the nanomachine that controls ...
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 ...
Researchers at Leipzig University and TU Dresden have succeeded in developing biological switches that can selectively turn ion channels on and off using light pulses. Initial applications show that ...
Scientists have found that blocking microglia (specialist immune cells in the brain) prevents infant forgetting ("infantile ...
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 ...
