How does the collective interaction of many individual cells create a perfectly formed organism? This question is the focus of a new study.

Lipids are difficult to detect with light microscopy. Using a new chemical labeling strategy, a Dresden-based team led by André Nadler at the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and ...

As power plants and energy stores, mitochondria are essential components of almost all cells in plants, fungi and animals. Until now, it has been assumed that these functions underlie a static ...

An artificial cytoskeleton imitating cells’ internal scaffold provides evidence of a controversial concept called ...

Plant cells have some specialized properties that make them distinct from animal cells. Learn how special structures, such as chloroplasts and cell walls, create this distinction.

Scientists say they have discovered a mysterious new structure lurking inside every human cell.

Those need a scaffold, or structure for the cells to grow on, which can be vegetable-based or made of animal products like collagen. IS IT REALLY MEAT?

Consisting of a two-dimensional (2D) array of rings and pillars, the structure can improve the short-circuit current of a thin-film crystalline solar cell by over 50%, its creators say. The ...
