Study finds that large embryo cells divide step by step using a mechanical ratchet system, challenging the textbook idea of a ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising new way that giant embryonic cells divide—without relying on the classic “purse-string” ring long thought essential for splitting a cell in two. Studying ...

Just as life pulsates in big vibrant cities, it also prospers in crowded environments inside cells. The interior of cells is densely packed with biomolecules like proteins and nucleic acids. How is ...

Innovations in imaging and genetic engineering are coming together to probe the biophysics of cytoplasm inside living animals.

UC Davis researchers tracked the movement of fluorescent particles inside the cells of microscopic worms, providing novel insights into cellular crowding in a multicellular animal. They found that the ...

In living cells, regulation of the electrochemical environment is supposed to be managed by ion channels—protein complexes that reside in cell membranes and assume definite shapes. So, it’s surprising ...

A new international study led by Prof. Carmit Levy of the Department of Human Genetics and Biochemistry at the Gray Faculty of Medical & Health Sciences at Tel Aviv University finds that melanoma ...

The Single Cellome Unit SU10 allows materials, like genome editing tools, to be delivered directly to the cytoplasm or nucleus of specific single cells. It is also capable of single-cell sampling. The ...
