The cytoskeleton gives cells their shape and helps them move. Researchers at Helmholtz Munich and Ludwig Maximilian ...

Cancer cells are remarkably good at adapting to stress. When treatments damage them, they often find new ways to survive, fueling drug resistance and disease progression.

In living cells, regulation of the electrochemical environment is supposed to be managed by ion channels—protein complexes that reside in cell membranes and assume definite shapes. So, it’s surprising ...

Cells are the smallest unit of life and the building blocks for all organisms. Each component of a cell has its own function. Animal and plant cells differ and they have similarities. Nucleus, cell ...

- Professors Hao F. Zhang and Xiaomin Bao’s groups used super-resolution imaging on human skin cells for the first time. - The researchers explored the gateways between the cells’ cytoplasm and ...

New findings provide details about the hidden organization of the cytoplasm, showing it makes a big difference where in that cellular broth that messenger RNA (mRNA) get translated into proteins. The ...

Sister cells are a pair of cells that share the same mother cell. In a new study published in Developmental Cell, researchers led by Université de Montréal (UdeM) professor Greg FitzHarris show how ...
