Now, new research by Penn State scientists has revealed this vital process may be governed by a previously unknown molecular ...

For the first time, high-resolution time-lapse videos of tiny bits of living plants show how they assemble their protective cell walls, researchers report March 21 in Science Advances. The image ...

Over the past two decades, researchers have learned that DNA inside the cell nucleus naturally folds into a network of ...

For successful cell division, chromosomal DNA needs to be packed into compact rod-shaped structures. Defects in this process can lead to cell death or diseases like cancer. A new study has shown how ...

Intercellular fluid flow, not just cell structure, governs how tissues respond to physical forces by Jennifer Chu, Massachusetts Institute of Technology edited by Sadie Harley, reviewed by Robert Egan ...

Before cells can divide by mitosis, they first need to replicate all of their chromosomes, so that each of the daughter cells can receive a full set of genetic material. Scientists have until now ...

Research on organic solar cells has been conducted for a long time. Recent advancements in understanding their molecular structures are now paving the way for the development of highly efficient solar ...

Researchers have identified a new type of visual cell in deep-sea fish larvae that challenges a century of knowledge about vertebrate visual systems. Dr. Fabio Cortesi from The University of ...
