Scientists have developed a new imaging technique that uses a novel contrast mechanism in bioimaging to merge the strengths ...

Ribosomes, the cell's protein-making factories, consume large amounts of energy as they build the proteins that keep cells ...

AI‑enabled electronic mesh guides the maturation and coordination of lab‑grown islet cells, offering a potential new path toward future diabetes therapies.

Before cells can divide by mitosis, they first need to replicate all of their chromosomes, so that each of the daughter cells can receive a full set of genetic material. Scientists have until now ...

It's no coincidence that our bodies feel a little creakier as we age. The trillions of cells that make up our skeleton age too, and some change in ways that weaken the very structure of our bones.

Neural crest cells are a population of stem cells that invade the embryo in early development. They play a big role in what ...

Yeast, worms, and mice remodel their endoplasmic reticulum early in the aging process. The protective shift offers potential targets to extend healthy lifespan.

Researchers at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) and Imperial College London have shown for the first time that, before they can start developing into egg and sperm cells, the embryonic ...

Other cells, such as glial cells, support the function of neurons. Neuroscience has often painted glial cells as the glue ...
