Scientists say they captured 3D images of a new organelle they're calling a "hemifusome," which may be a recycling center in human cells. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

One of the biggest quests in biology is understanding how every cell in an animal's body carries an identical genome yet ...

A protein located in the wrong part of a cell can contribute to several diseases, such as Alzheimer's, cystic fibrosis, and cancer. But there are about 70,000 different proteins and protein variants ...

Living cells may generate electricity through the natural motion of their membranes. These fast electrical signals could play ...

Researchers think a microbe that was engulfed by an algal cell 100 million years ago has since evolved into an integral part of the cell's machinery. When you purchase through links on our site, we ...

A tiny elephant establishes a new stomping ground for 3-D printing: inside cells. For the first time, scientists have 3-D printed objects within living cells, including a 10-micrometer long elephant ...

This story is part one in a four-part series about cell therapy created by the Fierce Biotech team. Gabrielle Masson, Helen Floersh, James Waldron and Max Bayer contributed reporting to this series.

After decades of development, the dream of regenerative medicine has become a clinical reality — in part. Researchers can now cultivate stem cells in a laboratory, transform them into specialized cell ...

Researchers developed a new machine learning method that, given a relevant amino acid sequence, can automatically predict the location of a protein in any human cell line down to the single-cell level ...
