An international group of researchers led by Pompeu Fabra University has discovered the nanomachine that controls ...

Scientists can peer into cells to get a limited view of their activity using microscopes and other tools. However, cells and ...

Cells do more than carry out chemical reactions. New theoretical work suggests they may also generate usable electrical ...

Scientists have uncovered a new way embryonic cells divide when conventional mechanisms fail. Cell division underpins all ...

Cell division is an essential process for all life on earth, yet the exact mechanisms by which cells divide during early ...

What does the inside of a cell really look like? In the past, standard microscopes were limited in how well they could answer this question. Now, researchers from the Universities of Göttingen and ...

Researchers have for the first time characterised a unique molecular mechanism of the early stages of programmed cell death or apoptosis, a process which plays a crucial role in prevention of cancer.
