Bone implants often fail to fully integrate with surrounding tissue, limiting their effectiveness in regeneration. A natural but often overlooked cellular process could hold the key to better outcomes ...

For successful cell division, chromosomal DNA needs to be packed into compact rod-shaped structures. Defects in this process can lead to cell death or diseases like cancer. A new study has shown how ...

Biologists have long treated cell membranes as passive barriers, thin skins that separate the chemistry of life from the ...

T cells are small spherical immune cells with a standard shape and function that typically roam the circulatory system… right? Maybe not. Berend Snijder, PhD, and his team at the Institute of ...

What do cells want to be when they grow up, and how do they get there? Intrigued by these questions, many developmental biologists try to follow the journeys of cells from when they can virtually ...

The lymphatic system is a network of branching vessels that regulate fluid balance and support the immune system. Its smallest capillaries, comprised of a single endothelial cell layer, must stay ...

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