There are more human cells in your body than there are stars in the Milky Way galaxy! Cells are the fundamental building blocks of life but that... Why scientists want to build a cell from scratch ...
Ribosomes, the cell's protein-making factories, consume large amounts of energy as they build the proteins that keep cells ...
Inside every cell, a network of tiny filaments, called the microtubule cytoskeleton, helps maintain the cell's shape, allows it to divide, and transports vital materials from one part of the cell to ...
Every time I see anything about cell biology, I get super impressed all over again. Each cell is a machine of insane complexity, orders of magnitude more intricate than anything humans have ever made.
Some of the body’s cells stay put for life, while others are free to roam. To move, these migratory cells rely on filopodia—sensitive, finger-like protrusions that reach out from the cell membrane ...
Researchers have developed a new method to recreate a robust and functional human immune system in mice using mononuclear cells from the cord blood. This new kind of mice, that count with most of the ...
Current cell therapies like CAR-T cells lack the precision to distinguish between healthy and diseased tissue, leading to limited effectiveness and potential side effects. One of the most significant ...
