The human genome has to be carefully organized so it will fit inside of the nuclei of cells, while also remaining accessible ...

Researchers have developed synthetic genes that function like the genes in living cells. The artificial genes can build intracellular structures through a cascading sequence that builds ...

Our skin and mucous membranes are protected by epithelial cells. This 'barrier' tissue performs its function thanks to specialized structures called 'junctions'. They ensure cell cohesion and regulate ...

The mini review brings together emerging evidence showing that glial cells actively influence disease progression and ...

To stay healthy, our cells rely on a self-cleaning mechanism that removes defective or unnecessary components. This process, ...

Researchers have developed a way to 3D print custom micrometer-sized structures directly into the interior of living cells.

Hormones coordinate different body functions by carrying messages through the bloodstream to target cells and tissues. Hormonal imbalances occur through inadequate or excess hormone synthesis, which ...
