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

A laser. A droplet. Then a 10-micron elephant is born, inside a cell. This isn't science fiction. It's already happening.

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

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.

Scientists have identified the role of an ion channel that plays a key part in how cells break down and recycle components, a ...

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 ...
