Bdelloid rotifers shrug off radiation doses that would obliterate human cells. Here’s how their resilience reveals deep ...

A growing body of experimental work on how single bacteria sense and respond to their environment has reopened a long-standing question in biology and philosophy: can an individual cell be conscious?

In MS trials, investigators are steering those cells toward B‑cell populations that appear to be driving inflammation.

Researchers have revealed how bacteria precisely control the genes that trigger cell division. The study shows that the MraZ protein, which normally forms a donut-shaped structure, must bend and ...

A lipid hidden within cells called phosphatidylserine reveals how the body initiates the removal of threats and cellular debris.

Hair may grow in a completely different way than scientists once believed. Instead of being pushed out from the root, new ...

Scientists from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed a biochemical technique that captures fleeting ...
