Researchers have developed a way to 3D print custom micrometer-sized structures directly into the interior of living cells.

Scientists have crossed a startling new frontier in bioengineering: they can now fabricate intricate three-dimensional ...

In a recent study published in the journal Nature, a large team of researchers from the United States (U.S.) used single-cell ribonucleic acid (RNA) sequencing combined with high-resolution ...

Human bodies make 2 million red blood cells per second. They each live for 120 days and spend that time zooming completely around the body every 20 seconds, carrying oxygen from the lungs to other ...

A new twist on two-photon polymerization has been used to deliver objects, including lasers and an elephant, directly into ...

Some of the body's cells stay put for life, while others are free to roam. To move, these migratory cells rely on ...

The glycocalyx surrounds each cell in the human body like a coat. This complex sugar layer plays a key role in the progression of numerous diseases, such as cancer and autoimmune diseases. The ...

This scanning electron microscopy image captures the moment where degranulating mast cells (pseudo-colored in sepia) attract and start to incorporate living neutrophils (pseudo-colored in cyan), ...

With the long-term goal of creating living cells from non-living components, scientists in the field of synthetic biology work with RNA origami. This tool uses the multifunctionality of the natural ...
