One of the most fundamental processes in all of biology is the spontaneous organization of cells into clusters that divide and eventually turn into shapes—be they organs, wings or limbs. Subscribe to ...

Inside each of your cells lies a nucleus, its master command center. Protected inside each nucleus are your chromosomes, ...

How does a single cell reliably build one of the most complex structures known in nature? New research suggests the answer ...

When a cell divides, it performs a feat of microscopic choreography—duplicating its DNA and depositing it into two new cells. The spindle is the machinery behind that process: It latches onto ...

Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed CellScope, a high-performance single-cell analysis ...

Using mouse incisor models, researchers reveal how coordinated cell movements form crack-resistant enamel in teeth ...

Researchers at the Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology have found that physically resisting the formation of an immunological synapse actually promotes a stronger immune response. The findings could ...

HeLa cells are the most famous human cells in science. Discover how cervical cancer, HPV proteins, and bioethics shaped one ...

Neuroscientists propose a new theory of brain development where cells organize based on lineage rather than long-range signals.

Neurodegenerative diseases affect more than 57 million people globally. The incidence of these diseases, from Alzheimer's to Parkinson's to ALS and beyond, is expected to double every 20 years. Though ...
