Living cells may generate electricity through the natural motion of their membranes. These fast electrical signals could play ...

Quantum effects are no longer confined to ultra-cold chips and vacuum chambers. For the first time, researchers are deliberately engineering living cells so that they behave like quantum bits, hinting ...

Researchers from Kyushu University have developed an innovative computational method, called ddHodge, that can reconstruct ...

It may have fewer than many of the other sciences, but biology does have two dozen or so “rules”—broad generalizations about ...

Cells degrade components that are no longer needed through autophagy. New results show that a weak molecular interaction is essential for this process. By modifying this interaction, it is possible to ...

One of the biggest quests in biology is understanding how every cell in an animal's body carries an identical genome yet ...

“Expression tells us what cells do, but regulatory DNA tells us where they come from, how they develop, and which germ layer ...

Fluorescence-based imaging methods have recorded many details of cell dynamics and behavior, but the full 3D orientation and position of fluorescently marked ensembles has remained difficult to ...

Researchers at the Max Delbrück Center have found that a cellular housekeeping mechanism called autophagy plays a major role in ensuring that T stem cells undergo normal cell division.
