Stanford scientists have developed a revolutionary microscope that reveals the hidden inner workings of living cells in real ...
From the hairs on our arms to the microscopic sensory structures of the inner ear, many tissues in the body are built with a ...
New research shows CD4+ T cells kill the progenitor cells needed to rebuild bone after injury, while regulatory T cells ...
While some cells remain there, others invade neighboring tissues, spread throughout the body and ultimately metastasize to the lungs or liver, for example. To do so, individual cells detach from the ...
Every second, millions of cells in your body divide in two. In the space of an hour, they duplicate their DNA and grow a web of protein fibers around it called a spindle. The spindle extends its many ...
Somewhere in the neighborhood of 100 trillion bacteria live in the human gut, and they do not keep to themselves. As they grow and divide, many of them shed tiny membrane-bound particles, some no ...
Anyone who has ever tried and failed to swat a fly has experienced the speed of a tiny nervous system. Now, a new review ...
Using patterned light to generate and control microscale forces could inform designs for synthetic cells that deliver drugs. Engineers interested in creating artificial cells to deliver drugs to ...
A neuronavigation-guided study shows that continuous-time random walk diffusion MRI metrics closely track pathological ...
Animals have body parts that range from enormous organs to microscopic structures, showing how evolution shapes anatomy for survival. Giant structures include blue whale hearts, elephant ears, and ...
