The mycobacterial cell envelope is a multilayered structure essential to viability, virulence and drug resistance. At its core lies the peptidoglycan layer, a mesh of ...

In pink, wild type cells expressing gamma actin. In black, knock-out cells that do not express gamma actin. The yellowish lines reveal the tortuous nature of the junctions. Our skin and mucous ...

The alternative text for this image may have been generated using AI. The study of extracellular vesicle (EV) interactions with recipient cells is inherently limited by the nature of EVs themselves.

Scientists have attempted to map the human cell since the first microscope was invented more than 400 years ago. But many components of the cell still remain uncharted. "We know each of the proteins ...

Scientists at EPFL have developed CenSpark, a fluorescent probe that makes centrioles and cilia visible inside living cells, helping researchers study cell division, development, and immunity like ...

A simulated cell in the early stages of division. Left half shows cytoplasm (blue cubes), mRNA degradation machinery molecules (pink), and sugar transporters (brown). Right half adds the membrane ...

Plankton may be tiny, but they play an important role in the ocean. As the foundation of marine ecosystems, they support ocean food webs and help regulate Earth's climate by storing carbon. While lab ...

Researchers from Germany say they have successfully applied an ultra-precise method for monitoring the health of cell cultures. The team, from RWTH Aachen University, reports that they’ve shown, for ...
