Researchers at the University of Waterloo have produced experimental evidence that quantum-level effects can alter the ...

One of the most widely accepted models for how cells remember their identity may be incorrect. This is shown in a new study ...

Researchers at the University of Michigan have revealed that cells use a previously unknown feat of molecular craftsmanship ...

A lipid hidden within cells called phosphatidylserine reveals how the body initiates the removal of threats and cellular debris.

Researchers have revealed how bacteria precisely control the genes that trigger cell division. The study shows that the MraZ protein, which normally forms a donut-shaped structure, must bend and ...

As 2025 comes to a close, the editors at The Scientist asked researchers to reflect on the biggest breakthroughs in cell biology this year. They named advances in everything from embryo models for ...

All the cells in an organism have the exact same genetic sequence. What differs across cell types is their epigenetics-meticulously placed chemical tags that influence which genes are expressed in ...

An enigmatic type of circulating tumor cell called a dual-positive (DP) cell is associated with shorter survival time in patients with advanced breast cancer, according to a study led by investigators ...

Spatial proteomics is a spatial biology method that helps study the spatial distribution of the proteins within cells and tissues. The subcellular localization of proteins is intrinsic to cellular ...
