Living cells may generate electricity through the natural motion of their membranes. These fast electrical signals could play ...
Researchers from Kyushu University have developed an innovative computational method, called ddHodge, that can reconstruct ...
As 2025 comes to a close, the editors at The Scientist asked researchers to reflect on the biggest breakthroughs in cell biology this year. They named advances in everything from embryo models for ...
It may have fewer than many of the other sciences, but biology does have two dozen or so “rules”—broad generalizations about ...
Biologists have long treated the cell as a chemical factory, but a new wave of research is forcing a rethink of that familiar ...
Fluorescence-based imaging methods have recorded many details of cell dynamics and behavior, but the full 3D orientation and position of fluorescently marked ensembles has remained difficult to ...
Cells degrade components that are no longer needed through autophagy. New results show that a weak molecular interaction is essential for this process. By modifying this interaction, it is possible to ...
Using DNA and proteins, scientists have created new synthetic cells that act like living cells. Blurring the line between artificial and living materials, these cells can be reprogrammed to perform ...
