Scientists can peer into cells to get a limited view of their activity using microscopes and other tools. However, cells and ...

Scientists have transformed enigmatic cell structures, called vaults, into storage units for messenger-RNA molecules made in ...

Researchers have developed a way to 3D print custom micrometer-sized structures directly into the interior of living cells.

Taking images of tiny structures within cells is tricky business. One technique, cryogenic electron tomography (cryoET), shoots electrons through a frozen sample. The images formed by the electrons ...

Every time our body encounters a new disease-causing agent, a crucial defense system called adaptive immunity comes into play ...

Metabolism, far from being just a housekeeping function, underlies all changes in cell size and function ...

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.

Scientists have uncovered a new way embryonic cells divide when conventional mechanisms fail. Cell division underpins all ...

A new twist on two-photon polymerization has been used to deliver objects, including lasers and an elephant, directly into ...

Deep within the nucleus of every cell lies a structure smaller than a pinpoint that may hold the secret to aging. Scientists at Weill Cornell Medicine have discovered that the nucleolus, long known ...

- Muscle cells, also known as myocytes, are specialized cells designed for contraction and force production. Skeletal Muscle Cells: These cells are long, cylindrical, and have a striated (or striped) ...
