A new study that centered on the swimming behavior of sperm cells is the first to establish a direct effect of mutation on sperm behavior.…
The study demonstrated that the reproductive system influences overall health and aging. The study identified the negative consequences of disrupting meiosis. A new study in…
A new research study suggests that quieting communication between heart cells and their environment protects this organ from harmful signals related to stresses such as…
The discovery might pave the way for the development of more sustainable crops that can withstand tougher environmental conditions. Scientists find that meiotic exit in…
Fluorescent microscopy image of the new cells (extraembryonic mesoderm cells) and placenta progenitor stem cells. The new cells are marked in red, and cells corresponding…
The study found that chromosomes are fluid, almost liquid, outside of their division phases. Chromosome manipulation in live cells indicates that they are fluid. Researchers…
MIT chemists have discovered how the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor changes its conformation when it binds to EGF. Credit: Courtesy of the researchers New…
The upper panel shows non-Rabl configuration. Centromeres in magenta dispersed in nuclei in green. The lower panel shows Rabl configuration. Centromeres unevenly distributed in nuclei.…
New research has discovered how cancer cells can gravitate toward certain mechanical “sweet spot” environments. Discovery offers insight into how cancer spreads and provides a…
Microscope image of genetically engineered kidney organoids were used to solve a medical mystery about tuberous sclerosis complex. Credit: Cell Research Scientists have solved a…
This image shows self-organized, spherical clusters of cells that decompose alginate. Differences in fluorescence indicate different metabolic states for the cells within the aggregate, a…
Schizophrenia is a severe mental illness that affects how a person thinks, feels, and behaves. The symptoms of schizophrenia can make it difficult to participate…
Researchers discovered how valproic acid, a medication commonly used to treat epilepsy, migraines, and bipolar disorder, causes birth defects when taken during pregnancy. Researchers determined…
New techniques developed by the Huang Lab give researchers a way to understand diseases at the sub-cellular level, potentially opening the door for new treatments.…
Asst. Prof. Huanhuan Joyce Chen of Pritzker Molecular Engineering led a new study showing that the type of macrophages present in a person’s body might…
Scientists are deciphering the nuclear pore complex in incredible detail. Credit: Valerie Altounian Many of us learned the basic cell structure at some point and…
The membranes of infectious bacteria are no match for molecular machines developed at Rice University. The machines are activated by visible light and drill into…
Image showing artificial ovary, where in vitro-generated female germ cells (magenta) enter meiosis (yellow cells) to become oocytes with help from supporting cells (cyan). This…
Using a new method, scientists have discovered that cells lose about 4% of their mass as they enter cell division. They are essentially taking out…
