For years, biomolecular condensates were thought to be simple, liquid-like droplets with little internal organization. New ...

Scientists are investigating how exercise-triggered stress reshapes the cell’s energy systems, and whether those same mechanisms could eventually help counter metabolic disease. Don’t like the gym?

Hydrogel micromachines recreate the push and pull of living cells, helping scientists study how mechanical forces shape tissues in the lab.

Human cells are extremely small and tightly packed – at about 20 micrometers across, roughly one-fifth the width of a human hair, each cell contains a dense mix of proteins, organelles, and molecular ...

Plants constantly juggle oxygen inside their cells, but scientists have now discovered a surprising twist in how that balance works. Researchers at the University of Helsinki found that ...

Cancer is caused by faulty genes, but what also shapes a cancer cell's behavior is how a gene's instructions are trimmed and ...

Building functional human muscle in the laboratory has long been a goal of regenerative medicine, but one stubborn obstacle remains: real muscle is not just a mass of cells. Its strength and function ...

Cells are crowded with proteins and nucleic acids. A new study measures subcellular densities across organisms to uncover how material is distributed. (Nanowerk News) Just as life pulsates in big ...

Better mRNA release inside cells boosts vaccine and gene editing performance, enabled by redesigned lipid molecules that grip ...

In A Nutshell Researchers at Tokyo University of Science developed a method to create fluorescent, irregularly shaped ...
