A new kind of microscope is giving scientists a way to watch life inside cells with a clarity that feels almost unfair.

The study of insect cell culture has become a cornerstone of modern virology and biotechnology. With the ability to cultivate cells from a variety of insect species under controlled laboratory ...

The concept of a ‘plasmid’ was first introduced by Joshua Lederberg in 1952. Since that time, it has become widely recognized as a circular DNA able to viably function as a carrier for introducing a ...

Most of the volume of epithelial cell bodies containing nuclei are aligned as a monolayer on the apical (upper) side. They extend pillarlike cell processes in a basal (downward) direction. At the ...
