No one has yet created a fully functioning artificial cell. But a research team at Aarhus University has taken a step in that ...

An international research team involving the German Primate Center—Leibniz Institute for Primate Research (DPZ), Hannover Medical School (MHH), and the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology ...

Cells typically contain a cytoskeleton, which helps shuttle things around and provides structural integrity, among other ...

Researchers used Listeria's movement as a model to build nanomotors inside artificial cells, giving them lifelike mobility ...

Most cell structures are not visible to the naked eye without using stains for visualization. The stains used in these images highlight how cell biologists use tricks to “see the invisible.” Invite ...

A microscopic flaw in the brain’s cellular scaffolding can shape brain size for life.

Researchers have discovered that septins -- a part of the cytoskeleton -- form a barrier to the penetration of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The process is dependent on the LecA molecule on the surface of ...

Unlike our organs, cell organelles such as mitochondria are not fixed in place, but when, where, how, and why organelles move ...
