Scientists can peer into cells to get a limited view of their activity using microscopes and other tools. However, cells and ...

Vaults are mysterious cellular structures that can be genetically engineered to store information about a cell’s history.

In a recent study published in the journal Nature, a large team of researchers from the United States (U.S.) used single-cell ribonucleic acid (RNA) sequencing combined with high-resolution ...

Researchers examined anatomy of neurons from humans, mice and fruit flies. They discovered that the cellular structure of the brain is at a critical point, poised between two phases. New insights ...

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have characterized how cellular senescence—a biological process in ...

Scientists use a multimodal approach that combines hard X-ray computed tomography and X-ray fluorescence imaging to see the structure and chemical processes inside of a single cell. Every plant, ...

Human cells are extremely small and tightly packed – at about 20 micrometers across, ...

A new study published in Nature Biotechnology shows that stem cell differentiation is linked to cellular structures called P-bodies, providing a potential means of controlling cell identity.

Findings from the Living Brain Project reveal how senescence processes involved in early brain development may also shape brain aging ...
