Fluorescent dyes have long been used in biological research to identify and visualize structures within living cells.

When oil is dropped in water, the oil droplets stay separate. Cells can also use a system like this to separate or gather materials, encouraging various reactions and processes to occur. Scientists ...

Profiling over 86,000 nuclei from 16 human cell types, scientists mapped two forms of epigenetic regulation in single cells ...

Biomolecular condensates were long believed to be simple liquid blobs inside cells. Researchers have now uncovered that some are actually supported by fine protein filaments forming an internal ...

Researchers have developed a way to 3D print custom micrometer-sized structures directly into the interior of living cells. As reported in Advanced Materials, the investigators used their method to ...

A team of researchers has developed an innovative imaging platform that promises to improve our understanding of cellular structures at the nanoscale. This platform, called soTILT3D for ...

Biomedical research typically follows a familiar path: developing treatments that block, enhance or mutate certain signaling pathways, genes or proteins to change the function of different cells in ...

A human kidney is built once, before birth, and the rules guiding its construction have been largely inferred from animal models. Researchers at Penn Medicine have now read those rules directly in ...

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have characterized how cellular senescence—a biological process in which aging cells change how they function—is associated with human brain ...
