Scientists can peer into cells to get a limited view of their activity using microscopes and other tools. However, cells and ...

Scientists have transformed enigmatic cell structures, called vaults, into storage units for messenger-RNA molecules made in ...

Researchers have developed a way to 3D print custom micrometer-sized structures directly into the interior of living cells.

Custom polymer structures can now be 3D printed inside living cells using laser-based fabrication, opening paths to intracellular sensors, cell tracking tags, and embedded microlasers.

Deep within the nucleus of every cell lies a structure smaller than a pinpoint that may hold the secret to aging. Scientists at Weill Cornell Medicine have discovered that the nucleolus, long known ...

Scientists have uncovered a new way embryonic cells divide when conventional mechanisms fail. Cell division underpins all ...

The glycocalyx surrounds each cell in the human body like a coat. This complex sugar layer plays a key role in the progression of numerous diseases, such as cancer and autoimmune diseases. The ...

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 ...

With the long-term goal of creating living cells from non-living components, scientists in the field of synthetic biology work with RNA origami. This tool uses the multifunctionality of the natural ...
