Some of the body's cells stay put for life, while others are free to roam. To move, these migratory cells rely on filopodia—sensitive, finger-like protrusions that reach out from the cell membrane ...

"Every single cell can have a different chromosome structure," Cheng, a Curators' Distinguished Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, said. "Our tool helps scientists study those ...

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 ...

Fowler and her team are examining two different aspects of F-actin in red blood cells: how the red blood cell precursors rearrange their F-actin to get rid of their nucleus, enabling the mature cells ...

A largely overlooked structure inside our cells may play a crucial role in how the brain forms, offering new insight into ...

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 ...

Cell walls are a crucial structure of plant life, protecting cells from damage, giving plants shape, and containing ...
