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 ...

A human cell prepares to release infection-fighting molecules called cytokines (magenta). WashU Medicine researchers identified a protein crucial to this process and how it is involved in a rare ...

Scientists have discovered how cells initiate waste recycling and form ‘garbage bags,’ a crucial process for health. This ...

A new part of an ocean plant cell has been discovered that might revolutionize farming one day. The structure can take ...

Scientists have developed a breakthrough technique to directly convert skin cells into neurons, bypassing the need for stem ...

A research team at Kumamoto University has developed a deep learning-based method for analyzing the cytoskeleton—the structural framework inside cells—more accurately and efficiently than ever before.

A first-of-its-kind artificial intelligence (AI)-based neural network can rapidly analyze and interpret millions of cells from a patient sample, predicting molecular changes in the tissue. It can ...

Until now, skin cells have been viewed as barriers that can respond to electric stimuli. Turns out, they also generate ...

Textbooks usually depict the epithelial cells encasing the interior and exterior of your body as passive barriers. But ...

Immunodeficient mouse holding human tumor cells and human immune cells demonstrates tumor metastasis in the lungs. Such tumor metastasis is prevented by short synthetic mRNA injections, as they ...

New findings show that the mitochondria powering our cells also control the ability of a DNA repair protein to suppress the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP), which causes zombie-like ...

SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19, infects cells by binding its spike protein to angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptors. Blocking this interaction with inhibitors could prevent ...
