Scientists can peer into cells to get a limited view of their activity using microscopes and other tools. However, cells and ...

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

Scientists have transformed enigmatic cell structures, called vaults, into storage units for messenger-RNA molecules made in ...

Thanks to a recent study by researchers at IOCB Prague, it is now possible to monitor processes in living cells more ...

Deep within the nucleus of every cell lies a structure smaller than a pinpoint that may hold the secret to aging. Scientists at Weill Cornell Medicine have discovered that the nucleolus, long known ...

Scientists have long known that cellular membranes vary in thickness, but measuring those differences inside actual cells has ...

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 ...

A new study published in Nature Biotechnology shows that stem cell differentiation is linked to cellular structures called P-bodies, providing a potential means of controlling cell identity.

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.

Metabolism, far from being just a housekeeping function, underlies all changes in cell size and function ...

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 ...
