Touch—the first sense to develop in the womb—is fundamental to our bodily experience and our everyday lives. Yet, as the ...

Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed CellScope, a high-performance single-cell analysis ...

Neuroscientists propose a new theory of brain development where cells organize based on lineage rather than long-range signals.

Cells rely on biomolecular condensates to coordinate essential biological processes without surrounding membranes. These droplet-like dynamic assemblies control the way in which DNA is turned into ...

Inside cells, RNAs and proteins form tiny, liquid-like droplets called biomolecular condensates. These droplets are essential for organizing cellular life, yet why some RNAs cluster more readily than ...

Lucy Shapiro received this year’s Lasker Special Achievement Award for her discovery of how bacteria use genetic circuits to encode three-dimensional cellular life. “I was quite shocked, truly,” said ...

Scientists have long known that cellular membranes vary in thickness, but measuring those differences inside actual cells has been out of reach. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest sci-tech ...
