For years, biomolecular condensates were thought to be simple, liquid-like droplets with little internal organization. New ...

Researchers have revealed how bacteria precisely control the genes that trigger cell division. The study shows that the MraZ ...

A remarkably small bacterium containing fewer than 500 genes serves as the basis for one of the most detailed digital life ...

When a cell divides, it performs a feat of microscopic choreography—duplicating its DNA and depositing it into two new cells. The spindle is the machinery behind that process: It latches onto ...

Discover how to build a simple solar cell at home using everyday materials! This step-by-step tutorial demonstrates how to repurpose an aluminum can, a CD, copper wire, toothpaste, lemon juice, and a ...

Researchers at the Max Delbrück Center and the University of Oxford have found that a cellular housekeeping function called autophagy—by which cell components are broken down and recycled—plays a ...

Researchers have revealed a surprising new role for a key protein in cell division. The discovery, reported in two back-to-back papers, challenges long-standing models and textbook accounts in biology ...

Novo Nordisk is ending all work in cell therapy, including a Type 1 diabetes program, amid CEO Maziar Mike Doustdar's reorganization. As part of the move, the company is laying off nearly all of the ...
