Diabetes affects more than 40 million people in the United States, according to the American Diabetes Association. For many, ...

Cyanobacteria—ancient microbes that oxygenated Earth and made complex life possible—are still revealing surprises billions of ...

Researchers have identified an unexpected mechanism that links age-related stress to the decline of blood-forming stem cells. Instead of triggering cell death, a known signaling pathway subtly ...

Researchers introduces an innovative chemical strategy to create biomimetic structures with greater efficiency.

Creating artificial systems that mimic the functioning of cells is one of the goals of what is known as synthetic biology.

A new study co-led by an Oregon Health & Science University researcher describes a breakthrough in microscopy tools that ...

Penn State researchers have developed a technique they call “cellular snowballing,” in which lab-grown cells mixed with ...

Spiders are among Earth's most resourceful predators, nabbing prey by any means necessary. Orb weavers spin webs for capture.

Processes such as wound healing, hair growth, and the continual renewal of cells all rely on cell division. In this process, chromosomes must be evenly distributed between two daughter cells. Even ...

Mars may be hostile, but it might not be entirely unlivable. In lab experiments, yeast cells survived simulated Martian shock ...

Researchers suggest tunneling may reflect a conserved strategy adopted by specialized migratory cell types in dense tissues.

As more labs have adopted this methodology, they’ve created increasingly complex structures, including interconnected systems ...
