A new discovery inside your cells may change how scientists understand disease and design future treatments. Researchers have found a previously unknown structure in mammalian cells, something they ...

Over the past two decades, researchers have learned that DNA inside the cell nucleus naturally folds into a network of ...

The beta cells of the pancreas are responsible for releasing the hormone insulin, which is vital for the absorption of glucose from the bloodstream. Various factors can impair the ability of these ...

For the first time, high-resolution time-lapse videos of tiny bits of living plants show how they assemble their protective cell walls, researchers report March 21 in Science Advances. The image ...

It's no coincidence that our bodies feel a little creakier as we age. The trillions of cells that make up our skeleton age too, and some change in ways that weaken the very structure of our bones.

Researchers has revealed the existence of surface concavities on individual crystal grains -- which are the fundamental blocks -- of perovskite thin films, and have unraveled their significant effects ...

Intercellular fluid flow, not just cell structure, governs how tissues respond to physical forces by Jennifer Chu, Massachusetts Institute of Technology edited by Sadie Harley, reviewed by Robert Egan ...

A Northwestern Medicine study has shed light on one of the most intricate construction projects in biology: how cells build and coordinate the internal scaffolding needed to create a healthy egg. The ...

Brain cells are constantly swallowing material from the fluid that surrounds them - signaling molecules, nutrients, even ...

For successful cell division, chromosomal DNA needs to be packed into compact rod-shaped structures. Defects in this process can lead to cell death or diseases like cancer. A new study has shown how ...
