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 ...

Taking images of tiny structures within cells is tricky business. One technique, cryogenic electron tomography (cryoET), shoots electrons through a frozen sample. The images formed by the electrons ...

Scientists have long known that cellular membranes vary in thickness, but measuring those differences inside actual cells has ...

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

By combining atomic force microscopy (AFM) with a Hadamard productbased image reconstruction algorithm, scientists ...

Metabolism, far from being just a housekeeping function, underlies all changes in cell size and function ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising viral shortcut that turns moving cells into delivery vehicles for infection. Instead ...

Stanford University-led researchers report that tumor cells hijack mitochondria from immune cells, reducing anti-tumor immune ...

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.

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 ...
