Researchers say findings help to bridge the structure of the genome to its function in managing how genes are turned on and off.

Artist MRK (Markos Kay) is best known for his mesmerizing digital videos like The Flow and the aDiatomea series. But he also creates striking static images inspired by cell biology, atomic structure, ...

Before cells can divide, they first need to replicate all of their chromosomes, so that each of the daughter cells can ...

A new structure in human cells has been discovered. The structure is a new type of protein complex that the cell uses to attach to its surroundings and proves to play a key part in cell division. A ...

Cell division is one of the most fundamental processes of biology. It's what allows all living things to grow, multiply and form complex structures. But scientists still don't understand many of the ...

Researchers have found a new, dynamic protein structure in cells. Every cell contains millions of protein molecules. Some of them have the ability to phase-separate to form non-membrane-bound ...

As power plants and energy stores, mitochondria are essential components of almost all cells in plants, fungi and animals. Until now, it has been assumed that these functions underlie a static ...

Oct. 23 (UPI) --Scientists have discovered a new cell structure, a protein complex that helps cells attach to their surroundings and plays an important role in the cell division process. Tissue cells ...
