A novel method to manipulate the inner structure of cells connects several scientific fields and could represent a ...

Over the past two decades, researchers have learned that DNA inside the cell nucleus naturally folds into a network of ...

The human cell is a miserable thing to study. Tens of trillions of them exist in the body, forming an enormous and intricate network that governs every disease and metabolic process. Each cell in that ...

A previously unknown structure discovered in our cells could pave the way toward new treatments for various genetic disorders. The existence of the organelle—which has been dubbed the "hemifusome"—was ...

Life and death are traditionally viewed as opposites. But the emergence of new multicellular life-forms from the cells of a dead organism introduces a “third state” that lies beyond the traditional ...

Researchers have used advanced microscopy and computational modeling to show how herpesvirus infection affects host-cell nucleus structure.

Brain cells are constantly swallowing material from the fluid that surrounds them - signaling molecules, nutrients, even pieces of their own surfaces - in a process known as endocytosis that is ...
