Researchers have identified how to encourage tumors to build their own immune hubs—structures that look and function like ...

Researchers have discovered how unstructured segments of surface proteins regulate the biological function of a cell. Their ...

Researchers have developed synthetic genes that function like the genes in living cells. The artificial genes can build intracellular structures through a cascading sequence that builds ...

Just as life pulsates in big vibrant cities, it also prospers in crowded environments inside cells. The interior of cells is ...

Cancer is a disease that causes abnormal cells to reproduce and spread to other parts of the body, which can result in tumors or damage to the immune system that may become fatal. Healthy cells follow ...

At first glance, plants may seem passive—but beneath their stillness lies a world of complexity and constant activity. Plants ...

Digital camera images of the entire body (top left) and dorsal mantle (top right) of a squid show the splotches’ blue, green, yellow, orange and red iridescent (angle-dependent) colors. An individual ...

In 2020 biologist Michael Levin and his colleagues reported that they had made “biological robots” by shaping clusters of cells into tiny artificial forms that could “walk” around on surfaces. Levin’s ...
