For decades, biology textbooks and popular science writing repeated a striking claim: bacterial cells in the human body ...

Metastasis occurs when cancer cells break away from the original tumor and travel through the bloodstream to form new tumors in other parts of the body. It is the leading cause of cancer-related death ...

Scientists have finally watched influenza viruses break into living human cells in real time, catching the microscopic invaders as they latch on, glide across the surface and slip inside. Instead of a ...

Curiosis has a line of Automated Live Cell Imaging Systems called the Celloger series. Using specialized microscopes and labeling procedures, live cell imaging enables real-time observation and ...

Creating artificial systems that mimic the functioning of cells is one of the goals of what is known as synthetic biology. These models, known as synthetic or biomimetic cells, allow some of the basic ...

A new technique has measured boron in individual cancer cells for the first time, enabling researchers to better understand how drugs act to kill tumors in some cancers. In an article in the Journal ...

In a new study, researchers from the University of Tokyo, Harvard University, and the International Research Center for Neurointelligence have unveiled a technique for creating lifelike robotic skin ...

Cell migration is a multistep process essential to various physiological functions, including immune cell movement and embryonic development, as well as pathological conditions like tumor metastasis.

A research team of the University Medical Center Mainz has succeeded in observing for the first time how G protein-coupled receptors in living cells actually respond to activating substances. The ...

A microscopic image shows small red centers connected by networks of branched and straight filaments. The team mixed purified actin monomers with precise concentrations of two nucleation-promoting ...
