Inside every human cell, a tiny structure called a lysosome acts like a recycling center, breaking down toxic waste, clearing ...

The lab studies how the dynamic F-actin scaffolding creates particular cell shapes and how this contributes to normal cell function or dysfunction. The research is focused on red blood cells, the ...

It's no coincidence that our bodies feel a little creakier as we age. The trillions of cells that make up our skeleton age too, and some change in ways that weaken the very structure of our bones.

A largely overlooked structure inside our cells may play a crucial role in how the brain forms, offering new insight into developmental disorders and potential therapies. Subscribe to our newsletter ...

Missing the beginning of the film. The film explores the structure and function of plant and animal cells using a microscope. It begins with observing onion cells, highlighting their components such ...

That means researchers can now use it to better understand how genes function, how diseases start and how to design better treatments. "Every single cell can have a different chromosome structure," ...

Professor Bo Liu, Department of Plant Biology, holds an Arabidopsis plant while Professor Jawdat Al-Bassam, Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology, holds a model of the augmin protein complex.

Orientational order is important for both liquid crystals and cell assemblies, and experimental and computational techniques ...

When oil is dropped in water, the oil droplets stay separate. Cells can also use a system like this to separate or gather materials, encouraging various reactions and processes to occur. Scientists ...

A new study published in Nature Communications shows that human glial progenitor cells are a promising and safe cell product ...
