Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have built a computer simulation that tracks the entire life cycle ...

By simulating the life cycle of a minimal bacterial cell—from DNA replication to protein translation to metabolism and cell ...

When a virus infects a bacterial cell, the viral genome is the first component to be fully injected into the cell, making it an ideal immune target. A bacterial enzyme anchored to the membrane ...

In a landmark simulation, scientists have recreated the full cell cycle of a living cell in four dimensions — three dimensions plus time. Using a highly detailed digital model of a minimal synthetic ...

Researchers shifted the focus to the internal properties of the membrane itself, specifically its viscosity, highlighting its critical role in controlling deformation and dynamics during essential ...

Researchers at the University of Michigan have revealed that cells use a previously unknown feat of molecular craftsmanship ...

A remarkably small bacterium containing fewer than 500 genes serves as the basis for one of the most detailed digital life ...

Scientists recorded 24 hours of the cellular construction process, revealing surprising new details about how plant cell ...

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

A well-fitted ‘disguise’ allows transplanted mitochondria to slip into cells whose own mitochondria are defective, scientists reported 18 March in Cell 1. Administration of these cloaked mitochondria ...

The story of life’s beginnings gets stranger when you look closely at viruses. These tiny entities seem to sit at the edge of ...
