Cells can spontaneously change shape even without external signals, but the underlying mechanisms behind this form of self-organization have remained unclear. Now, researchers from Japan have ...

Blocking the formation of filaments—multi-enzyme structures that fuel cancer activity—may offer new ways to control cancer cell proliferation, according to a new study led by Cornell researchers.

Some cells, such as immune cells, are highly mobile—they constantly remodel their shape, migrate toward a wound that needs to be closed or chase down bacteria in the bloodstream. This mobility is ...

Every time a white blood cell engulfs a bacterium, a neuron extends a projection to connect with a neighboring cell, or when a cancer cell forcefully squeezes through tissue to spread, the cell must ...

Based on the dimension of the single-cell building blocks, the current biofabrication strategies with single-cell resolution can be categorized into zero-dimensional single-cell droplets, ...

Mutations to the protein SPOP are widespread in cancer, yet many remain poorly understood. To address this gap, St. Jude ...

(a) Optical photograph of a soft-bodied macrofossil (specimen No. cy266) of unknown affinity, with abundant filamentous microfossils of Q. cambria (b–g) present on the surface. (b) SEM image of ...
