A new kind of microscope is giving scientists a way to watch life inside cells with a clarity that feels almost unfair.

Encouraged by these results, Dudin, Dey, Guichard, and Hamel launched a close collaboration. Three years later, their work has produced near-encyclopedic insight into hundreds of protist species and ...

For centuries, scientists have known that plants "breathe" through microscopic pores on their leaves called stomata. These ...

HIV hijacks SRRM2 to enlarge nuclear speckles, stabilizing CPSF6 puncta and promoting efficient viral replication.

Scientists have uncovered a surprising viral shortcut that turns moving cells into delivery vehicles for infection. Instead of spreading one virus at a time, infected cells bundle viral material into ...

Worldwide, researchers have created lab-grown uteri that let human embryos implant, revealing early pregnancy stages and ...

When cells proliferate, genomic DNA is precisely duplicated once per cell cycle. Abnormalities in this DNA replication process can cause alterations in genomic DNA, promoting cellular ageing, cancer, ...

New NE-AFM method measures nuclear stiffness in living cells. It shows cancer nuclei change softness with chromatin and environment, aiding diagnosis and treatment. By employing a technique called ...

Using a tiny, spherical glass lens sandwiched between two brass plates, the 17th-century Dutch microscopist Antonie van Leeuwenhoek was the first to officially describe red blood cells and sperm cells ...
