Engineered fluorescent nanobodies that work inside living cells can label multiple proteins in different colors at once, ...

When cells experience sudden physical stress, like stretching or pressure, they can activate a fast, protective mechanism ...

Even after decades of research, biologists are still uncovering surprises about the human body. A team of researchers from the University of Virginia and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) have ...

Cells are the smallest unit of life and the building blocks for all organisms. Each component of a cell has its own function. Animal and plant cells differ and they have similarities. Nucleus, cell ...

Stanford researchers have developed a microscope that can show how nanostructures interact inside living cells at the highest ...

Water deficit resistance in plants has long been a topic of interest for cultivating reliable crops. Some plants can alter their above-ground structure to lock in moisture, while others develop deep, ...

"Every single cell can have a different chromosome structure," Cheng, a Curators' Distinguished Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, said. "Our tool helps scientists study those ...

How the Cell's Internal Framework Shapes Brain Development Actin plays a central role in the cytoskeleton, the internal framework that gives cells structure and helps move materials inside them. In ...
