Scientists at Feinberg are reshaping scientific understanding of the cell's tiniest components—structures once thought to be static, now revealed to be dynamic engines of cellular life. As they probe ...

The cell nucleus is considered to be the control center of vital cellular processes, but its material properties continue to puzzle scientists. An international research team has now developed a new ...

Cancer cells are subjected to high mechanical pressure that leads to a rupture of the nuclear envelope when migrating through ...

Researchers at Duke University used CRISPR technologies to discover previously unannotated stretches of DNA in the "dark ...

For the first time, researchers have found one of the most important molecular machines in our cells uses a ‘twisting elevator’ mechanism, solving a mystery of how it transports crucial chemical ...

Cell division is one of the most thoroughly studied processes in biology, yet many of its details remain mysterious. A ...

Just as life pulsates in big vibrant cities, it also prospers in crowded environments inside cells. The interior of cells is ...

More than 1.5 billion years ago, a momentous thing happened: Two small, primitive cells became one. Perhaps more than any event—barring the origin of life itself—this merger radically changed the ...

He imaginative power of nature certainly could not have produced anything more flexible than the cell to account for every complex morphology of the organic world. In the same way that the seven notes ...

Two distinct stem cell lineages that drive tooth root and alveolar bone formation have been identified by researchers from ...

Researchers construct an embryo-like structure from human stem cells, resulting in a new way to study the earliest stages of development. Research on human embryos is vital to understanding the ...
