Vaults are mysterious cellular structures that can be genetically engineered to store information about a cell’s history.
Custom polymer structures can now be 3D printed inside living cells using laser-based fabrication, opening paths to intracellular sensors, cell tracking tags, and embedded microlasers.
Human cells are extremely small and tightly packed – at about 20 micrometers across, ...
3D printing technology has already transformed the field of biomedical research by allowing scientists to produce soft tissue, replacement windpipes, and working hearts on a whim. But each of these ...
Researchers at Colorado State University have determined how to use artificial intelligence to modify antibodies so they act ...
A new kind of microscope is giving scientists a way to watch life inside cells with a clarity that feels almost unfair. Instead of choosing between seeing big structures or tiny particles, researchers ...
Metabolism, far from being just a housekeeping function, underlies all changes in cell size and function ...
One of the most detailed 3D maps of how the human chromosomes are organized and folded within a cell's nucleus is published in Nature. Chromosomes are thread-like structures that carry a cell's ...
A cell nucleus reconstituted in vitro in Xenopus laevis (African clawed frog) egg extract. Left image shows a fluorescence image where DNA has been stained and right image shows a density map of the ...
