A new kind of microscope is giving scientists a way to watch life inside cells with a clarity that feels almost unfair.

Membranes are constantly bending as a result of heat fluctuating randomly through the cell. In theory, any voltage produced ...

Biologists have long treated the cell as a chemical factory, but a new wave of research is forcing a rethink of that familiar ...

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 ...

The constant, energy-driven motion inside living cells may generate electricity in a way no one fully recognized before.

Living cells may generate electricity through the natural motion of their membranes. These fast electrical signals could play ...

The discovery of an unknown organelle inside our cells could open the door to new treatments for devastating inherited diseases. The organelle, a type of specialized structure, has been dubbed a ...

In a recently published study, researchers at Fox Chase Cancer Center revealed for the first time that cancer cells can evade anti-cancer drugs by entering and surviving within bone marrow fibroblasts ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have shown that the 'pacemaker' controlling yeast cell division lies inside the nucleus rather than outside it, as previously thought. Having the pacemaker ...

UC Davis researchers Gant Luxton, Daniel Starr and Xiangyi Ding have used tiny fluorescent particles to study what is going on inside the cells of Caenorhabditis worms. They found that the cells are ...

No one saw the blob takeover coming. In 2009 a team of biophysicists led by Anthony A. Hyman of the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics in Dresden, Germany, were studying ...
