At the scale of individual cells, the human body is constantly in motion. Every second, millions of cells divide, particularly in tissues such as the bone marrow, intestine and skin; neurons and heart ...

Cell division, a process fundamental to life, still holds surprises. Researchers from the University of Zurich and the ...

Just as life pulsates in big vibrant cities, it also prospers in crowded environments inside cells. The interior of cells is densely packed with biomolecules like proteins and nucleic acids. How is ...

Our blood contains cells called 'red blood cells' that carry oxygen throughout the body.Red blood cells are essential for ...

The 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded for the development of CRISPR/Cas9, a method also known as "gene scissors," which enables researchers to better understand how human cells function and ...

The artificial cell nucleus (right) constructed using the purified DNA was morphologically very similar to the natural cell nucleus derived from an egg (left). A team led by Professor Kazuo Yamagata ...

Direct interactions between the cell’s powerhouses and nuclear pores might channel energy straight into the nucleus, fuelling cell division and differentiation. Menendez-Montes et al. investigated ...

The cell nucleus goes a long way during an immune response, both literally and figuratively. The white blood cells in question are cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs), also known as killer T cells. These ...

The cell nucleus goes a long way during an immune response, both literally and figuratively. New research published in Science Immunology shows that in some white blood cells, this genetic storage ...

Iron is an essential micronutrient, but excess iron can damage cells and increase cancer risk. While many cells die from iron ...
