Scientists at EPFL have developed CenSpark, a fluorescent probe that makes centrioles and cilia visible inside living cells, ...

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 method developed at Baylor College of Medicine and collaborating institutions allows researchers to better understand ...

Even after decades of research, biologists are still uncovering surprises about the human body. A team of researchers from the University of Virginia and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) have ...

Researchers examined anatomy of neurons from humans, mice and fruit flies. They discovered that the cellular structure of the brain is at a critical point, poised between two phases. New insights ...

In a recent study published in the journal Nature, a large team of researchers from the United States (U.S.) used single-cell ribonucleic acid (RNA) sequencing combined with high-resolution ...

The cytoskeleton is far more than a static scaffold—it’s a dynamic, adaptable network that shapes cells, moves cargo, and drives vital processes. From swirling cytoplasmic flows to microtubule ...

Cyanobacteria—ancient microbes that oxygenated Earth and made complex life possible—are still revealing surprises billions of ...

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. (Nanowerk ...
