A largely overlooked structure inside our cells may play a crucial role in how the brain forms, offering new insight into ...

"Every single cell can have a different chromosome structure," Cheng, a Curators' Distinguished Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, said. "Our tool helps scientists study those ...

Every human cell is surrounded by a sugar coating known as the glycocalyx. It not only interacts with its environment but also reveals a great deal about cells' internal states. Scientists at the Max ...

Human bodies make 2 million red blood cells per second. They each live for 120 days and spend that time zooming completely around the body every 20 seconds, carrying oxygen from the lungs to other ...

How the Cell's Internal Framework Shapes Brain Development Actin plays a central role in the cytoskeleton, the internal framework that gives cells structure and helps move materials inside them. In ...

Some of the body's cells stay put for life, while others are free to roam. To move, these migratory cells rely on filopodia—sensitive, finger-like protrusions that reach out from the cell membrane ...

A joke between researchers turned into the first structure 3D-printed inside a living cell, a precursor to building ...

A collaboration between the University of Geneva and Lausanne University Hospital has shown in new detail how the body's defenses fight back against malignant cells. Those defenses involve T ...
