Cell walls are a crucial structure of plant life, protecting cells from damage, giving plants shape, and containing ...

When oil is dropped in water, the oil droplets stay separate. Cells can also use a system like this to separate or gather materials, encouraging various reactions and processes to occur. Scientists ...

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

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 ...

Even after decades of research, biologists are still uncovering surprises about the human body. A team of researchers from the University of Virginia and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) have ...

A Moffitt Cancer Center researcher has introduced a new model that addresses one of biology's most fundamental questions: How does genetic information keep living systems organized and therefore alive ...

Cytotoxic T lymphocytes are the body's specialized "killer" cells, precisely eliminating infected or cancerous cells.

In mouse brain cells, and in follow-up work involving worms and human cortical neurons, the team found that many axons ...

Starving yeast cells create a protective barrier in mitochondria that could reveal how cancer survives and resists treatment ...

The body’s “killer” T cells don’t just attack—they strike with astonishing precision, forming a tiny, highly organized ...

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 ...
