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 ...

The study shows how the actin wavefronts actively transport nearly half of the TCRs away from the synapse centre, and rescue ...

With the long-term goal of creating living cells from non-living components, scientists in the field of synthetic biology work with RNA origami. This tool uses the multifunctionality of the natural ...

Prior to using this narrative, have learners create their own model of a cell in their notebooks using whatever background information or experience they might have. While exploring the narrative, ...

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

The story of the cell cycle is often told only through the perspective of the chromosomes as they replicate and then divide. This resource beautifully illustrates the role of the cytoskeleton in that ...

How the Cell's Internal Framework Shapes Brain Development Actin plays a central role in the cytoskeleton, the internal framework that gives cells structure and helps move materials inside them. In ...

According to a new study in Advanced Materials, researchers have developed a way to 3D print custom micrometer-sized structures directly into the interior of living cells.
