Artist MRK (Markos Kay) is best known for his mesmerizing digital videos like The Flow and the aDiatomea series. But he also creates striking static images inspired by cell biology, atomic structure, ...

Culminating a nearly 10 year effort, researchers have determined the atomic resolution structure of a key molecule that translates signals from a cell’s local environment into a language that the cell ...

A new structure in human cells has been discovered. The structure is a new type of protein complex that the cell uses to attach to its surroundings and proves to play a key part in cell division. A ...

UCLA scientists have characterized the structure and function of a key survival protein in breast cancer cells that helps ...

Cell-in-cell phenomenon is a common form following cell–cell contact, which is not only observed between tumor cells during tumor cell proliferation and metastasis but also tumor-immune cells ...

The cell nucleus is the site of many important biological functions of the eukaryotic cell. These processes include transcription, replication, splicing and ribosome biogenesis. The effect of these ...

In an effort to reveal the inner workings of a protein that serves as a cell's damage detection system, scientists at Johns ...

Before cells can divide by mitosis, they first need to replicate all of their chromosomes, so that each of the daughter cells can receive a full set of genetic material. Scientists have until now ...

UCLA scientists have characterized the structure and function of a key survival protein in breast cancer cells that helps ...

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, ...
