A previously unknown structure discovered in our cells could pave the way toward new treatments for various genetic disorders. The existence of the organelle—which has been dubbed the ...

In a slow, invisible process, leaves, wood and roots are gradually decomposed—not by wind or weather, but by millions and ...

Overflow metabolism refers to the widespread phenomenon of cells excreting metabolic by-products into their environment.

Like bees breathing life into gardens, providing pollen and making flowers blossom, little cellular machines called ...

Although plant cell-based bioproduction has advanced considerably during the past several years, certain elements remain largely unexplored.

Researchers have long been interested in the mechanical properties of the cell nucleus. It is known that these must be well regulated for the cell to function properly and that they can change in ...

In a major leap forward for genetic and biomedical research, scientists have developed a powerful new artificial intelligence tool that can predict the 3D shape of chromosomes inside individual ...

Scientists had previously tried transferring plant chloroplasts into fungi cells, but the cells’ cleanup squad destroyed foreign organelles within hours.

Animal cells share some qualities with plant cells, but one key feature ours lack is a rigid cell wall. While this provides structure for plants, it’s also something scientists are increasingly ...
