Although the usual image of a cell is an amorphous blob, these mouse cells settled into well-defined polygonal shapes thanks to a patterning system stamped onto the surface the cells are sitting on.

Chemistry is the study of matter and its behavior. The chemistry of life involves four main types of macromolecules: carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids, which are essential ...

Water makes up around 60% of the human body. More than half of this water sloshes around inside the cells that make up organs ...

Endothelial cells, which line blood vessels, play an important role in letting insulin out of those vessels and into tissues. Researchers have found that a second hormone, adrenomedullin, blocks ...

Cells and tissues are made of proteins that come together to perform ... Designer peptide–DNA cytoskeletons regulate the function of synthetic cells. Nature Chemistry, 2024; DOI: 10.1038/s41557 ...

This new battery, smaller than a grain of rice, can do more than just store energy—it can power living tissues, support synthetic cells, and even move on its own.

By examining squid skin cells three-dimensionally, a University of California, Irvine–led team has unveiled the structures ...

Tumors, organoids and cell lines that can indefinitely divide in a petri dish, like HeLa cells, are not considered part of the third state because they do not develop new functions. YouTube Watch On ...

Researchers have created a way to guide and control the development of stem cells into specific tissues and organs, opening the door to developing a means of one day tackling complex diseases like ...
