Cells can be thought of as cities, with factories, a transport system, and lots of building activity. An international team led by scientists at the University of Groningen studied cells growing under ...

"Researchers develop colour-based probes to detect different events in live cells, but this type of cell-dynamics reporter had not been available before. It has transformed our understanding of what ...

Scientists at Oregon Health & Science University have uncovered a previously unknown system of internal "trade winds" that help cells rapidly move essential proteins to the front of the cell, ...

Scientists at Oregon Health and Science University have discovered that cells generate steady internal fluid currents, dubbed “cytoplasmic tradewinds,” that actively push proteins toward the leading ...

Cell movement is an essential biological process, whether it's cancer cells metastasizing to other parts of the body or immune cells migrating to heal a wound. However, the principle by which cells ...

A 3D single-molecule super-resolution microscopy (iPALM) image showing individual actin protein molecules inside a cell, each rendered as a single dot and captured at extraordinary detail — roughly 10 ...
