Embryonic development is one of the most dynamic biological processes in nature. Cells and tissues organize and reorganize ...

Homing pigeons rely on iron-loaded immune cells in their livers to sense Earth’s magnetic field, a biological compass system ...

While medical centers use ultrasound daily, so far this technology has not been capable of observing body tissues at the scale of cells. Physicists have now developed a microscopy technique based on ...

Scientists at Université de Montréal's Institute for Research in Immunology and Cancer (IRIC) have identified a dynamic structure that forms a network on the surface of epithelial cells. Led by ...

University of Rochester Assistant Professor Marisol Herrera-Perez received a $2 million NIH MIRA grant to investigate the mechanical signals that guide how a single cell becomes a complex organism.

Stanford scientists have discovered a new type of immune cell that kills surrounding cells via explosion—a cellular ...

Researchers at the University of Liège have identified a key genetic regulator that enables macrophages to reach full maturity and preserve the health of our organs. The MafB factor, a veritable ...

This is a top-down cross-section of one of the 3D hollow spheres (lumenoids) that our cells can create. The different colors are for different proteins, which allows you to see some striking ...

Scientists are uncovering a surprising truth about aging cells: some may damage the body, while others help protect it. The discovery is fueling a new wave of precision anti-aging therapies aimed at ...
