Every time our body encounters a new disease-causing agent, a crucial defense system called adaptive immunity comes into play ...

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

In its effort to correlate genomic structure with gene function, the 4D Nucleome Consortium (4DN), led by Job Dekker, Ph.D., ...

Scientists have uncovered a new way embryonic cells divide when conventional mechanisms fail. Cell division underpins all ...

Researchers have developed a way to 3D print custom micrometer-sized structures directly into the interior of living cells.

A faulty ion channel function is a consistent biological feature of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome ...

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.

A generative AI system can now analyze blood cells with greater accuracy and confidence than human experts, detecting subtle signs of diseases like leukemia. It not only spots rare abnormalities but ...

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

To see how timing actually affects seasoning, I made two very different soups, each cooked twice. The first was a simple ...

Cells do more than carry out chemical reactions. New theoretical work suggests they may also generate usable electrical ...
