Imaging wall-less plant cells every six minutes for 24 hours revealed how the cells build their protective barriers.

Among the many marvels of life is the cell's ability to divide and thus enable organisms to grow and renew themselves. For ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists have uncovered new details about the genetic structure of ovarian cancer stem cells, ...

In plant and fungal cells, vacuoles help maintain cell structure. All eukaryotic cells have a cell membrane, also known as a plasma membrane. It consists of a phospholipid bilayer that contains ...

A team led by Professor Kazuhiro Maeshima of the National Institute of Genetics (ROIS) and SOKENDAI in Japan has developed a ...

In this interview Prof. Dr. Kristina Kusche-Vihrog speaks about the nanomechanics of living cells and their implications for ...

Plant cells also contain large vacuoles and chloroplasts. Each organelle performs a specific function critical to the cell's survival (Table 1). Table 1. The structure and function of key eukaryotic ...

Proteins in the sheath of cellular protrusions control how effectively cells can adhere to surfaces. Biological cells often ...

Using in-vitro models of a specific type of brain cell, scientists show that neurons are capable of changing from one type to ...

Mar. 11, 2025 — Researchers have identified genetic changes in blood stem cells from frequent blood donors that support the production of new, non-cancerous cells. Understanding the differences ...

This important study shows that the Nora virus, a natural Drosophila pathogen that also persistently infects many laboratory fly stocks, infects intestinal stem cells (ISCs), leading to a shorter life ...

Cell biology is the discipline of biological sciences that studies the structure, physiology, growth, reproduction and death of cells. Research in cell biology uses microscopic and molecular tools ...
