Modern cells are complex chemical entities with cytoskeletons, finely regulated internal and external molecules, and genetic ...

Cancer cells have softer membranes than healthy cells. New nanoparticles exploit this physical difference to fuse selectively ...

Scientists have long known that cellular membranes vary in thickness, but measuring those differences inside actual cells has ...

Modern cells are complex chemical entities with cytoskeletons, finely regulated internal and external molecules, and genetic material that determines nearly every aspect of their functioning. This ...

The constant, energy-driven motion inside living cells may generate electricity in a way no one fully recognized before.

Precise methods for shredding or repairing and replacing specific cancer-causing proteins in a malignant cell, developed at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, could have applications beyond ...

The discovery that tissues use electricity to expel unhealthy cells is part of a surge of renewed interest in the currents ...

Custom polymer structures can now be 3D printed inside living cells using laser-based fabrication, opening paths to intracellular sensors, cell tracking tags, and embedded microlasers.

Colorectal cancer, the abnormal growth of cancerous cells in the large intestine or the rectum, is one of the most common ...
