When oil is dropped in water, the oil droplets stay separate. Cells can also use a system like this to separate or gather ...

Velia Fowler (standing), chair of the Department of Biological Sciences and pioneering researcher in the architecture of cells, examines F-actin and other proteins in the structure of red blood cells ...

Researchers examined anatomy of neurons from humans, mice and fruit flies. They discovered that the cellular structure of the brain is at a critical point, poised between two phases. New insights ...

In a recent study published in the journal Nature, a large team of researchers from the United States (U.S.) used single-cell ribonucleic acid (RNA) sequencing combined with high-resolution ...

A new study published in Nature Biotechnology shows that stem cell differentiation is linked to cellular structures called P-bodies, providing a potential means of controlling cell identity.

Cells are enveloped by a lipid membrane that gives them structure and provides a barrier between the cell and its environment ...

Diabetes affects more than 40 million people in the United States, according to the American Diabetes Association. For many, ...

The design of synthetic developmental programs for multicellular mammalian systems is a cornerstone of synthetic biology. The programs hinge on the construction of gene regulatory circuits that ...

Scientists have discovered that a protein linked to cell death is secretly driving the aging of blood stem cells in a ...
