Researchers from Kyushu University have developed an innovative computational method, called ddHodge, that can reconstruct ...

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

Quantum effects are no longer confined to ultra-cold chips and vacuum chambers. For the first time, researchers are deliberately engineering living cells so that they behave like quantum bits, hinting ...

T his past year, we explored a lot of new cell biology research—from cancer to plants to microbes, and more! It’s hard to ...

As 2025 comes to a close, the editors at The Scientist asked researchers to reflect on the biggest breakthroughs in cell biology this year. They named advances in everything from embryo models for ...

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

“Expression tells us what cells do, but regulatory DNA tells us where they come from, how they develop, and which germ layer ...

Many rules currently exist that describe all kinds of processes of the natural world. Now, researchers hope to add a new rule ...

Researchers at the Max Delbrück Center have found that a cellular housekeeping mechanism called autophagy plays a major role ...
