A recent study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences suggests that individual cells in the human ...

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 ...

When a human cell prepares to split into two daughter cells, it must first construct a tiny internal machine called the ...

"Every single cell can have a different chromosome structure," Cheng, a Curators' Distinguished Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, said. "Our tool helps scientists study those ...

Dysfunctions of the tiny cell processes (primary cilia) of the pancreatic beta cells could be a cause of type 2 diabetes. Little is known about the structure and function of these cilia. An ...

The mechanical process of cell division exerts powerful, if microscopic, forces. How do the molecular machines that power it ...
