In a twist, researchers at the University of Virginia and the National Institutes of Health uncovered a new organelle, dubbed ...

A previously unknown structure discovered in our cells could pave the way toward new treatments for various genetic disorders ...

University of Virginia scientists discover new cell organelle called "hemifusome" that helps manage cellular recycling.

That extra step, however, might hold a key for better understanding certain genetic conditions, many of which stem from ...

In animal cells, a structure called the mitotic spindle segregates the chromosomes before the cells divide; it also dictates the position where cell division occurs.

Scientists don’t completely understand how this kind of multicellularity evolved in animals. Cell-to-cell adhesion, or the ability for individual cells to stick to each other, certainly plays a role, ...

Intercellular fluid flow, not just cell structure, governs how tissues respond to physical forces by Jennifer Chu, Massachusetts Institute of Technology edited by Sadie Harley, reviewed by Robert Egan ...

Even after decades of research, biologists are still uncovering surprises about the human body. A team of researchers from ...

“In nature, many animals use Bragg reflectors for structural coloration,” said co-author Alon Gorodetsky, UC Irvine associate professor of chemical and biomolecular engineering. “A squid’s ability to ...

Scientists have discovered that the internal shape of tiny drug-delivery particles—called lipid nanoparticles—has a big impact on how well our cells absorb them, paving the way to more ...
