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

Neural crest cells are a population of stem cells that invade the embryo in early development. They play a big role in what ...

A Northwestern Medicine study has shed light on one of the most intricate construction projects in biology: how cells build ...

DNA's iconic double helix does more than "just" store genetic information. Under certain conditions, it can temporarily fold ...

In A Nutshell As cells age, they deliberately shrink a major internal structure called the endoplasmic reticulum. This downsizing happens early in adulthood and shifts cells away from protein ...

Unlike virtually every other cell in the human body, the syncytiotrophoblast doesn't have a single nucleus. It has roughly 10 ...

For the first time, high-resolution time-lapse videos of tiny bits of living plants show how they assemble their protective cell walls, researchers report March 21 in Science Advances. The image ...
