Scientists have discovered a remarkable new form of symbiosis — a bacterium that lives inside a single-celled organism (a ...

Markita Landry is the first to admit that the two applications her research addresses – imaging brain chemistry and delivering genetic material into plants – are rather divergent.

Understanding the behavior of tiny droplets in our cells could aid the search for new treatments. A team of Leiden ...

Scientists uncover how the nucleolus, a tiny structure within cells, may control aging and lifespan, opening new ...

A new version of Cellpose —the popular tool that maps the boundaries of diverse cells in microscopy images —now works on less-than-perfect pictures that are noisy, blurry, or undersampled.

Rhobo6, a light microscopy probe, gives scientists an unprecedented look at the extracellular matrix -- the collection of organized molecular structures that fills the spaces between cells in our ...

Cell cycle re-entry of senescent breast cancer cells after CDK4/6 inhibition (CDK4/6i) constitutes a major source of disease ...

Feb. 4, 2025 — Research has shown that a potential new targeted therapy for childhood brain cancer is effective in infiltrating and killing tumor cells in preclinical models tested in mice.

This is called photosynthesis. The basic structure of a plant cell is shown below. Photosynthesis relies on many structures in the cell all working together, each playing its role. The diagram ...

The structural support of a plant depends on the unique balance between two elements: The strong, flexible cell wall provides structural support, while the vacuole, a large cellular compartment filled ...

Many cells in multicellular organisms are specialised. They have specific roles in the organism of which they are part. Their structure is adapted to their function. They are often grouped ...
