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 ...

Touch—the first sense to develop in the womb—is fundamental to our bodily experience and our everyday lives. Yet, as the least studied of the five senses, it remains somewhat mysterious at the ...

Cellular organization, physiology & dynamics is a research area focused on understanding how cells are spatially structured, how their molecular components are functionally integrated, and how these ...

Sterols, such as cholesterol in our bodies or ergosterol in yeast cells, are among the most abundant lipids in eukaryotic cells, yet are synthesized through notoriously long, complex metabolic ...

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. Scientists ...

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