Can the bend of a banana give us insight into cancer? What does the shape of a rice grain have to do with infertility? The ...

How does a single cell reliably build one of the most complex structures known in nature? New research suggests the answer ...

Mitochondria are essential for cell survival, repair, and adaptation. Not only do they generate most of the energy needed ...

DNA's iconic double helix does more than "just" store genetic information. Under certain conditions, it can temporarily fold into unusual shapes. Researchers at Umeå University, Sweden, have now shown ...

MIT researchers have found that tiny DNA loops persist even as cells divide, challenging the idea that the genome resets during mitosis. These structures may explain how cells retain genetic ...

Researchers from the Jožef Stefan Institute (IJS), a leading Slovenian research organisation, have successfully 3D printed microstructures inside living human cells. The breakthrough provides a strong ...

Cellular senescence is commonly defined as a state characterized by permanent cell cycle arrest in the absence of cell death, in which cells have altered function. While cellular senescence has been ...

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. (Nanowerk ...

Researchers have developed a way to 3D print custom micrometer-sized structures directly into the interior of living cells. As reported in Advanced Materials, the investigators used their method to ...

The Monday edition of NYT Connections arrives with puzzle #932, serving up a grid that rewards biological knowledge and Olympic event recognition. Today's challenge particularly favors science ...

Viruses typically aren’t considered ‘alive,’ as many core biological functions are outsourced to their potential hosts. But a newly discovered organism appears to straddle the line between virus and ...
