Scientists have uncovered a surprising new way that giant embryonic cells divide—without relying on the classic “purse-string” ring long thought essential for splitting a cell in two. Studying ...

Every second, hundreds to thousands of molecules move through thousands of nuclear pores in each of your cells. A new high-definition view reveals the machine in action.

A study reveals how two proteins cooperate in a key early step of antiviral detection, as reported by researchers at Science ...

Scientists discovered hundreds of energy-making enzymes secretly working on human DNA—revealing a hidden “mini-metabolism” ...

In early embryos, the first cell divisions must be extremely rapid and precisely controlled to ensure successful development. This balance is found to arise from a tight coupling between the clock ...

In A Nutshell Researchers at Tokyo University of Science developed a method to create fluorescent, irregularly shaped ...

A newly isolated giant virus shows bizarre features inside infected cells, and its unusual structure hints at deeper ...

We often hear about bacteria, but what exactly are they? A bacterium is a living organism that consists of a single cell (unicellular). It has ...

Researchers show how LGP2 binds viral RNA ends, moves along the strand, and helps MDA5 form filaments that amplify antiviral ...

It’s a familiar image, reprinted in countless biology textbooks: an illustration of a typical cell, halved like a grapefruit to reveal its innards. Strands of endoplasmic reticulum encircle a nucleus ...

Crystalline polymers assembled inside tumor cell lysosomes rupture membranes, release iron, and trigger immune-activating ...

This study presents valuable findings implicating nuclear export in the regulation of protein condensate behaviour and TDP-43 phase behaviour, suggesting a link to pathogenic aggregation in ALS/FTD.
