Cancer cells are subjected to high mechanical pressure that leads to a rupture of the nuclear envelope when migrating through ...

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 ...

Biologists used the world’s largest single-celled organism, an aquatic alga called Caulerpa taxifolia, to study the nature of structure and form in plants. It is a single cell that can grow to a ...

For years, we’ve known that a special kind of molecular assembly known as a “polyelectrolyte complex” helps your cells keep themselves organized. These complexes are very good at forming interfaces to ...

A plant cell wall is arranged in layers and contains cellulose microfibrils, hemicellulose, pectin, lignin, and soluble protein. These components are organized into three major layers: the primary ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Since Robert Hooke’s first description of a cell in Micrographia 350 years ago, microscopy has played an important role in understanding the rules of life. However, the smallest ...

Life on Earth possesses an exceptional ability to self-reproduce, which, even on a simple cellular level, is driven by complex biochemistry. But can self-reproduction exist in a biochemistry-free ...

TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Kioxia Corporation today announced the development of the world’s first [1] three-dimensional (3D) semicircular split-gate flash memory cell structure “Twin BiCS FLASH” using ...

A previously unknown structure discovered in our cells could pave the way toward new treatments for various genetic disorders. The existence of the organelle—which has been dubbed the "hemifusome"—was ...

Ah, the human sperm. A mature male germ cell, this microscopic vessel is crucial for sexual reproduction. It looks a lot like a tiny translucent tadpole, with a head, center section, and lashing tail ...

Cross-disciplinary advances brought about by new discoveries in chemistry have accelerated innovation in biomedicine, energy and environment research. For the Distinguished Lecture Series on Chemistry ...
