Modern cells are complex chemical entities with cytoskeletons, finely regulated internal and external molecules, and genetic ...

A collaborative team of four professors and several graduate students from the Departments of Chemistry and Biochemical ...

Researchers have developed technologies that allow damaged proteins to be shredded or healthy ones installed. This may ...

Cells do more than carry out chemical reactions. New theoretical work suggests they may also generate usable electrical ...

While our cells are performing some important, basic functions, they can generate compounds known as reactive oxygen species ...

Cancer cells have softer membranes than healthy cells. New nanoparticles exploit this physical difference to fuse selectively ...

Cells that are about to die send a signal to an executioner protein, but sometimes, those cells can fight back and regenerate ...

The discovery that tissues use electricity to expel unhealthy cells is part of a surge of renewed interest in the currents ...

When the cell's recycling stations, the lysosomes, start leaking, it can become dangerous. Toxic waste risks spreading and ...

Custom polymer structures can now be 3D printed inside living cells using laser-based fabrication, opening paths to intracellular sensors, cell tracking tags, and embedded microlasers.
