RIKEN researchers have discovered how right-handed molecules in our cells can give rise to cells that are not symmetrical ...

Most cell structures are not visible to the naked eye without using stains for visualization. The stains used in these images highlight how cell biologists use tricks to “see the invisible.” Invite ...

RIKEN researchers have discovered how right-handed molecules in our cells can give rise to cells that are not symmetrical ...

Surrounded by nutrients and undetected by the immune system, the interior of a cell is the ideal place for pathogenic bacteria to reproduce. Nevertheless, it was long thought that they existed outside ...

Researchers used miniature human brains grown in the lab to uncover why certain genetic mutations lead to abnormally small ...

Living cells are bombarded with molecular signals that influence their behavior. Being able to measure those signals and the response to them could help scientists learn much more about how cells work ...

No one has yet created a fully functioning artificial cell. But a research team at Aarhus University has taken a step in that direction: ...

Scientists at Aarhus University have developed nanomotors inspired by the bacterium Listeria monocytogenes and placed them inside artificial cells. The nanomotors drive the formation of internal ...

Researchers have discovered that septins -- a part of the cytoskeleton -- form a barrier to the penetration of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The process is dependent on the LecA molecule on the surface of ...

Microscopy image showing the concentric pattern of F-actin, which gives rise to the clockwise rotation of the nucleus ...
