A simple, chemical materials model may lead to a better understanding of the structure and organization of the cell according to a Penn State researcher. "Cells are interesting because they show ...

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

In a landmark simulation, scientists have recreated the full cell cycle of a living cell in four dimensions — three dimensions plus time. Using a highly detailed digital model of a minimal synthetic ...

The story of the cell cycle is often told only through the perspective of the chromosomes as they replicate and then divide. This resource beautifully illustrates the role of the cytoskeleton in that ...

Researchers have optimized a special X-ray process -- known as soft X-ray tomography -- to deliver high-resolution three-dimensional images of entire cells and their molecular structure in just a few ...
