A cell is fundamentally a container—a vessel that encapsulates life at the most basic level. Many biologists believe encapsulation of chemicals may have been necessary for evolution to gain traction.

A new study led by Marco Fumasoni, principal investigator at Fundação GIMM, shows that evolution can substantially reduce cell size without significantly compromising cells' ability to grow. The work, ...

Cancer does not develop overnight. It can take decades for cancer‐promoting changes in the genome to eventually lead to the formation of a malignant tumor. Researchers at the German Cancer Research ...

Blood cells are a major component of blood that make up a majority of its total volume. They originate in the bone marrow from stem cells. Blood cells can be broken down in three different subsets ...

In a study published in Developmental Cell, a team led by Prof. Robert K. Naumann from the Shenzhen Institutes of Advanced Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), and researchers from BGI ...

A form of glioma, a type of brain cancer, tends to progress toward greater malignancy due to an increasing tendency of glioma ...

Thought too hard to do, a new platform evolved proteins in mammalian cells, which could help researchers design drugs that work better in humans. “There are many, many examples, both published and ...

Imagine peering through a microscope and watching a hidden world come alive: tiny plankton drifting through water collected from a local pond, or the earliest stages of fertilization and embryonic ...
