In the evolutionary history of life, the ability of a cell to separate its inner world from the external environment was an ...

Researchers at the University of Michigan have revealed that cells use a previously unknown feat of molecular craftsmanship ...

A lipid hidden within cells called phosphatidylserine reveals how the body initiates the removal of threats and cellular debris.

Even after decades of peering into cells, biologists are still finding surprises. In a twist, researchers at the University of Virginia and the National Institutes of Health uncovered a new organelle, ...

Researchers shifted the focus to the internal properties of the membrane itself, specifically its viscosity, highlighting its critical role in controlling deformation and dynamics during essential ...

The most complex engineering of human cell lines ever has been achieved by scientists, revealing that our genomes are more resilient to significant structural changes than was previously thought. The ...

Understanding the human cell is vital to progress in the life sciences and to human health. Cells are the smallest, most basic unit of life responsible for all of life’s processes. A typical human ...

Researchers discovered that the mitochondrial MIM complex influences lipid droplet accumulation in yeast cells through ...

But when the Johns Hopkins team examined cancer cells grown in the lab, they found that energy-generating enzymes gather and move as waves on the cell membrane, suggesting a more fine-tuned energy ...
