Scientists have long known that cellular membranes vary in thickness, but measuring those differences inside actual cells has ...
Scientists have crossed a startling new frontier in bioengineering: they can now fabricate intricate three-dimensional ...
To stay healthy, our cells rely on a self-cleaning mechanism that removes defective or unnecessary components. This process, ...
Average location of 17 structures, each a different color, inside of a human cell. (Allen Institute Image / Matheus P. Viana et al. ) Our cells are built from smaller structures that specialize in the ...
Cells do more than carry out chemical reactions. New theoretical work suggests they may also generate usable electrical ...
All life is made up of cells several magnitudes smaller than a grain of salt. Their seemingly simple-looking structures mask the intricate and complex molecular activity that enables them to carry out ...
A new kind of microscope is giving scientists a way to watch life inside cells with a clarity that feels almost unfair.
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.
Scientists have uncovered a surprising viral shortcut that turns moving cells into delivery vehicles for infection. Instead ...
