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

This article was originally featured on Knowable Magazine. More than 1.5 billion years ago, a momentous thing happened: Two small, primitive cells became one. Perhaps more than any event—barring the ...

Scientists have crossed a startling new frontier in bioengineering: they can now fabricate intricate three-dimensional objects inside living cells. Instead of sculpting tissue from the outside, they ...

Our body's "blood factory" consists of specialized tissue made up of bone cells, blood vessels, nerves and other cell types. Now, researchers have succeeded for the first time in recreating this ...

Researchers have used advanced microscopy and computational modeling to show how herpesvirus infection affects host-cell nucleus structure.

Most cells in the human body exist in complex three-dimensional environments, yet they are still commonly studied on flat plastic dishes. These two-dimensional cultures distort cell behavior, limiting ...

Initially, cells are dissociated from liver tissues into single-cell suspensions using in vivo enzymatic perfusion or ex vivo digestion methods. The cells of interest are then enriched from the ...

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 ...
