Scientists engineered human cells to perform binary calculations using genetic circuits, advancing cell therapies and ...

It took two scientists decades to find a new nitrogen-fixing organelle. It could change the future of sustainable agriculture ...

Cells sitting side by side in the same tissues are not identical. Each cell carries its own subtly different chemical signature—a hidden individuality that can reveal how diseases take root and spread ...

Celldetective is an open-source software integrating segmentation, tracking, and event detection to perform high-throughput end-to-end study of dynamic cell interactions, without requiring coding ...

From overcoming classical optical limits to tracking single proteins in real time, super-resolution imaging continues to ...

Researchers have developed a new tool that can screen genes involved in human development at unprecedented scale and speed, using it in a proof-of-principle study to reveal new insights into human ...

Leonie Schön's Lamellipodium Art blends medicine and art, turning microscopic images of cells and tissues into striking ...

UCSF researchers are using tiny "mini-organs" to model disease, personalize treatment, and understand human development. They ...

For centuries, humanity has wrestled with a profound question: what truly separates non-living matter from actual, breathing ...

Scientists built a synthetic cell that combines more lifelike properties than ever before — proof of concept that it’s possible to bring nonliving materials to life, or something close to it, in the ...

From chemical building blocks, scientists have created synthetic cells that have most of the hallmarks of life.

Biohub and UC Berkeley show that the laser phase plate, a revolutionary device with a laser 100 million times brighter than the Sun, dramatically improves images obtained through cryo-electron ...
