A recent study by the University of Bonn and University Hospital Bonn and the University of Freiburg shows that the ...

Over the years, cell biology has built a detailed picture of how cells compartmentalize their internal functions. Central to this organization is the ...

A groundbreaking study shatters the myth of permanent cardiac damage, revealing that the heart can naturally trigger cell ...

Innovations in imaging and genetic engineering are coming together to probe the biophysics of cytoplasm inside living animals.

Northwestern Medicine scientists have identified the cellular mechanisms that cause immune cells to differentiate and ultimately lose function during viral infection, findings that could improve ...

Cell polarity is fundamental to morphogenesis across living organisms. In plants, a dynamic interplay between polarity cues and the cytoskeleton orchestrates essential asymmetric cell divisions across ...

It's long been assumed that when a parent cell divides into two daughter cells, the parent assumes a spherical shape, which then splits into two cells that have roughly the same, round size. But a new ...

The film "Mitosis" explores the process of cell division, specifically focusing on mitosis, which is essential for the growth and reproduction of living organisms. It illustrates how a single cell ...

These gastric cancer cells contain circular fragments of DNA (ecDNA) that encode two different oncogenes, one in red and one in green. Cooperating ecDNAs are often passed into the same cell during ...

Many specialized cells in adult organs acquire a state of cell cycle arrest and quiescence through unknown mechanisms. Our limited understanding of mammalian cell cycle arrest is derived primarily ...
