Researchers have revealed how bacteria precisely control the genes that trigger cell division. The study shows that the MraZ ...

For years, biomolecular condensates were thought to be simple, liquid-like droplets with little internal organization. New ...

Researchers discovered that immune-related proteins form membrane-bound rings that help regulate cell death signals, ensuring ...

Researchers at the University of Michigan have revealed that cells use a previously unknown feat of molecular craftsmanship to help protect their larger host organisms. The building blocks required ...

One of the most diverse ecosystems on the planet is closer than you think - right inside your mouth. Your mouth is a thriving ecosystem of more than 500 different species of bacteria living in ...

Scientists have identified a protein that can stop an infection in its tracks by simply dissolving a bacterial pathogen's cell membrane. This work indicates that there are natural detergents that ...

Blow up a long balloon and two things happen: it gets longer and it gets wider. Now imagine a living cell that inflates ...

Endosymbiotic organisms have to live inside of another to survive, and this relationship often provides benefits for both the host and its resident. It may seem unusual, but complex cells are thought ...

Scientists at MIT have discovered that a little-known protein called intelectin-2 plays a powerful double role in defending ...

Geared toward a younger audience (but honestly, who among us doesn’t love cell animations?) the Cell and Cell Structure app is a great educational resource for those looking for a beautifully ...
