Researchers are studying why the energy factories are moving between cells and whether the process can be harnessed to treat ...

the cell architecture could be specified by a small number of distinct genes, which would serve to modulate the inherent self-organizing processes that lead to the physical shape of cells and ...

each chromosome forms a compact X-shaped structure with two rod-like copies. How the cell achieves this feat remains largely unknown. Now, for the first time, EMBL scientists have directly observed ...

Research by Rutgers University-New Brunswick scientists centers on RNA, a nucleic acid that plays a crucial role in most ...

About 4 billion years ago, Earth began to show signs of the conditions that allowed the first cells to take hold and populate ...

MIT scientists used light to control how a starfish egg cell jiggles and moves during its earliest stage of development. Their optical system could guide the design of synthetic, light-activated cells ...

The biological research of UC Santa Cruz’s Needhi Bhalla to determine the molecular motions at the heart of heredity has ...

Single-celled organisms that group together can generate stronger water currents to pull in food, a benefit that may have ...

An Osaka Metropolitan University-led study demonstrated that Cdc42 (cell division cycle 42) plays a crucial role in the formation and maintenance of the morphological characteristics of quiescent ...
