Proteins are the molecular machines of cells. They are produced in protein factories called ribosomes based on their blueprint—the genetic information. Here, the basic building blocks of proteins, ...

What do cells want to be when they grow up, and how do they get there? Intrigued by these questions, many developmental biologists try to follow the journeys of cells from when they can virtually ...

No modern laboratory is complete without at least one basic microscope, an essential tool for biologists in medical research. Transmitted light methods have largely been replaced by fluorescent ...

Single-cell biology has transformed how we decode cellular heterogeneity, but a new frontier is emerging: understanding what individual cells do, not just what they express. The ability to observe ...

Apoptosis, or programmed cell death, is a tightly regulated biological process necessary for normal tissue maintenance and development. However, aberrations in apoptotic signaling networks are ...
