In living cells, regulation of the electrochemical environment is supposed to be managed by ion channels—protein complexes that reside in cell membranes and assume definite shapes. So, it’s surprising ...
Scientists have uncovered a new way embryonic cells divide when conventional mechanisms fail. Cell division underpins all ...
Human cells are extremely small and tightly packed – at about 20 micrometers across, ...
Researchers at Dresden University of Technology reveal that early zebrafish embryos divide without a closed actin ring.
Custom polymer structures can now be 3D printed inside living cells using laser-based fabrication, opening paths to intracellular sensors, cell tracking tags, and embedded microlasers.
Two photon polymerization has now moved from “on cells” to “inside cells”, opening a strange, new frontier.
Researchers at Entos Pharmaceuticals report today in Cell that they have developed a particle that can deliver DNA and RNA to many tissues without triggering an immune response (2024, DOI: ...
The Single Cellome Unit SU10 allows materials, like genome editing tools, to be delivered directly to the cytoplasm or nucleus of specific single cells. It is also capable of single-cell sampling. The ...
Cancer cells have softer membranes than healthy cells. New nanoparticles exploit this physical difference to fuse selectively ...
All living organisms are made of cells, which are the smallest unit of life. Plants and animals have up to trillions of cells that work together to produce ever more intricate organization and ...
