Scientists used light to control how a starfish egg cell jiggles and moves during its earliest stage of development. Their optical system could guide the design of synthetic, light-activated cells for ...

Germinal centers are high-speed evolution machines. Tiny clusters in the lymph nodes, germinal centers refine antibodies ...

Proteins interacting with cell membranes play a vital role in countless biological processes, from how cells communicate to ...

New imaging reveals a built-in safeguard that allows B cell populations to rapidly expand in germinal centers without introducing deleterious mutations.

GIDL is primarily caused by band-to-band tunneling (BTBT) at the drain junction under high electric field conditions. This ...

In a groundbreaking study on the synthesis of cellulose—a major constituent of all plant cell walls—a team of Rutgers University-New Brunswick researchers have captured images of the microscopic ...

Bhutan’s spectacular new airport, the world’s first 3D-printed train station has been built in Japan, plus new designs for ...

Suffice it to say, the hidden hand of Nature nudges you, whether you like it or not, down the self-similar branching paths of ...

The team recorded 24 hours of the cellular construction process, revealing surprising new details about how plant cell walls ...

Human extracellular matrices can be edited in their composition using the CRISPR/Cas9 system, leading to materials exhibiting tailored regenerative capacities.

Researchers have revealed for the first time how a key protein linked to Parkinson's mutates, leads to cell death in the ...
