A largely overlooked structure inside our cells may play a crucial role in how the brain forms, offering new insight into ...

Cell walls are a crucial structure of plant life, protecting cells from damage, giving plants shape, and containing ...

Some of the body's cells stay put for life, while others are free to roam. To move, these migratory cells rely on filopodia—sensitive, finger-like protrusions that reach out from the cell membrane ...

After centuries of mapping the human body in ever-finer detail, scientists are still making discoveries. Here we are, in 2025, and a previously unknown cellular structure that could be vital to our ...

"Every single cell can have a different chromosome structure," Cheng, a Curators' Distinguished Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, said. "Our tool helps scientists study those ...

A joke between researchers turned into the first structure 3D-printed inside a living cell, a precursor to building ...

Think back to that basic biology class you took in high school. You probably learned about organelles, those little “organs” inside cells that form compartments with individual functions. For example, ...

In mouse brain cells, and in follow-up work involving worms and human cortical neurons, the team found that many axons ...

Life and death are traditionally viewed as opposites. But the emergence of new multicellular life-forms from the cells of a dead organism introduces a “third state” that lies beyond the traditional ...
