Regular exercise doesn’t just burn calories—it fundamentally changes your fat tissue at a cellular level, according to groundbreaking research. A recent study has uncovered surprising differences ...

A basic function of cells is that they act in response to their environments. It makes sense, then, that a goal of scientists is to control that process, making cells respond how they want to what ...

Research provides the first-ever high-resolution, cell-resolved map of the human scalp during early aging. In A Nutshell Hair ...

Cells live in a world of chaos, constantly buffeted by random molecular jolts that can derail even the most carefully tuned ...

Drs. Jeanette Johnson, Elana J. Fertig, and Daniel Bergman review mathematical models and genomic data to simulate cancer cell growth. [University of Maryland School of Medicine] Researchers at ...

Fluorescence microscopy reveals cellular morphology and dynamics in remarkable detail, but achieving clear visualization at fast acquisition rates remains a challenge. A fundamental trade-off between ...

Researchers at the Paul Scherrer Institute PSI have succeeded in elucidating the structure of specific photoreceptors. With their help, it may be possible to switch cellular activities on and off ...

Imagine if our bodies could grow new organs throughout our entire lives. Plants do this constantly, thanks to tiny, powerful reservoirs of stem cells. But how do these cells know when to divide, and ...

A decade ago, a group of scientists had the literally brilliant idea to use bioluminescent light to visualize brain activity. "We started thinking: 'What if we could light up the brain from the inside ...
