A team of scientists from across Asia has launched an ambitious project to create artificial living cells from non-living ...

Engineered fluorescent nanobodies that work inside living cells can label multiple proteins in different colors at once, ...

Fluorescence-based imaging methods have recorded many details of cell dynamics and behavior, but the full 3D orientation and position of fluorescently marked ensembles has remained difficult to ...

For over a decade, scientists have made extraordinary progress on the long-held dream of fabricating an entire cell from nonliving molecules and materials. Such synthetic (or "engineered") cells would ...

Cells degrade components that are no longer needed through autophagy. New results show that a weak molecular interaction is essential for this process. By modifying this interaction, it is possible to ...

Cell walls are a crucial structure of plant life, protecting cells from damage, giving plants shape, and containing energy-rich nutrients. And yet the process of how the walls begin to form remains ...

Water deficit resistance in plants has long been a topic of interest for cultivating reliable crops. Some plants can alter ...
