Scientists have discovered a protein that acts like a “suit of armour” for skin cancer cells in a breakthrough that could ...

The chirality of tissues and organs is essential for their proper function and development. Tissue-level chirality derives from the chirality of individual cells that comprise the tissue, and cellular ...

Numerous physiological and pathological stimuli promote the rearrangement of the actin cytoskeleton, thereby modulating cellular motile functions. Although it seems intuitively obvious that cell ...

Importantly, the team found that mutations associated with neurological conditions like autism and schizophrenia can ...

For the first time, scientists have 3-D printed objects within living cells, including a 10-micrometer long elephant and tiny “barcodes” that could help track individual cells. Remarkably, many of the ...

Research into the intestinal cells of Burmese pythons has revealed the existence of a previously unknown cell type, ...

If measured from beginning to end, the DNA in our cells is too long to fit into the cell's nucleus, explaining why it must be ...

Hemifusomes are fused vesicles, or sacs of fluid, that were previously unknown to exist inside cells. They were discovered ...

In a discovery that could reshape approaches to regenerative medicine and bone repair, researchers have found that human stem ...

Few predators swallow their prey whole. Even fewer can digest their meals with bones and all. But for some reptiles like the ...

The particles in the cells' crypts, the researchers determined, are excess to the snake's requirements once it has extracted all it needs from the completely dissolved bones. The purpose of the ...

Scientists have identified how the brain protein cypin helps maintain strong connections between neurons, a discovery with ...
