Entering a cell and watching its entire inner machinery at work, how DNA is copied, how proteins are assembled, or how it ...

Graham Johnson, a computational biologist and scientific illustrator at the Allen Institute for Cell Science, recalls ...

To model bacterial life, Thornburg and his colleagues turned to one of its simplest examples: a bacterial cell with a ...

By simulating the life cycle of a minimal bacterial cell—from DNA replication to protein translation to metabolism and cell ...

Proteins are the infinitely varied chemicals that make cells work, and science has a pretty good idea how they are made. But a critical aspect underlying the machinery of protein manufacture has long ...

Hydrogel micromachines recreate the push and pull of living cells, helping scientists study how mechanical forces shape tissues in the lab.

Researchers have developed a human intestinal cell model that closely mimics the structure and function of the human gut, ...

In the same vein as weather forecast models that predict developing storms, researchers have now developed a method to predict the cell activity in tissues over time. The new software combines ...

Let’s face it: Nobody pursues a career in science for the joy of culturing cells. But this thankless and time-intensive task is the backbone of biological research. When it’s done extremely well, the ...
