Using an innovative combination of biochemical experiments and ultra-high-resolution microscopy, a research team at Kiel ...

When living cells grow, divide or respond to drugs, they give off tiny amounts of heat that offer information about what the ...

Every time a white blood cell engulfs a bacterium, a neuron extends a projection to connect with a neighboring cell, or when a cancer cell forcefully squeezes through tissue to spread, the cell must ...

Electricity has always been central to how life works, from the firing of neurons to the beating of the heart, but new research suggests cells may be generating power in ways biologists had not ...

Cells may generate their own electrical signals through microscopic membrane motions. Researchers show that active molecular processes can create voltage spikes similar to those used by neurons. These ...

Empowering living microorganisms and cells with the capability to perform new-to-nature metal-catalyzed reactions can hugely broaden the scope of artificial “chemo-bio” catalysis in diverse fields ...

Observing proteins with precision in living cells has been a challenge for researchers across various disciplines. Now, Stefan Kubicek, PhD, and his team at CEMM Research Center for Molecular Medicine ...

Accurate, rapid and non-invasive cancer cell phenotyping is a pressing concern across the life sciences, as standard immuno-chemical imaging and omics require extended sample manipulation. Here we ...

Cells that have been genetically engineered to produce drugs are a promising way to deliver medicines inside the human body, but keeping those cells alive is challenging. A new bioelectronic implant ...

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — By simulating the life cycle of a minimal bacterial cell — from DNA replication to protein translation to metabolism and cell division — scientists have opened a new frontier of ...
