Inside every living cell, proteins and membranes are in constant motion, reshaping, colliding, and flexing as they keep an ...

Living cells may generate electricity through the natural motion of their membranes. These fast electrical signals could play ...

Cells spend energy not just on reactions, but on control. New research explains why staying stable comes with an unseen ...

Modeling complex systems When studying complex biological systems such as the immune system, scientists can extract many different types of data. Sequencing cell genomes tells them which gene variants ...

Every person who has ever been pregnant leaves a biological trace that is far more intimate than a family photo album. During ...

Randomness inside cells can decide whether a cancer returns after chemotherapy or whether an infection survives antibiotics.

Why does cancer sometimes recur after chemotherapy? Why do some bacteria survive antibiotic treatment? In many cases, the ...

Single-cell functional analysis enables scientists to examine the unique characteristics of each cell within organs, tissues, and cell cultures. Unlike bulk-cell analysis, single-cell analysis allows ...

Researchers have unlocked a way to grow the immune system’s “conductors” from stem cells, bringing ready-made cancer-fighting therapies a big step closer. For the first time, scientists at the Univers ...

Ever better experimental techniques allow us to perform experiments under tightly controlled conditions and can deliver gigantic amounts of data reflecting the complexity of biology. This has vastly ...
