Tracking how cancer cells develop in real time How these differences in the genome and in epigenetic control arise in cells, and how they are passed on to their daughter and granddaughter cells, has ...

A new dual-light microscope lets researchers observe micro- and nanoscale activity inside living cells without using dyes. The system captures both detailed structures and tiny moving particles at ...

As space agencies prepare for human missions to the moon and Mars, scientists need to understand how the absence of gravity affects living cells. Now, a team of researchers has built a rugged, ...

A virus that is big enough to be seen under an ordinary light microscope co-opts its host’s systems with the help of ...

A scientific experiment observing how white blood cells react under the microscope after exposure to food components, exploring cellular behavior in an educational and controlled way.

How do cells acquire their identities? In hopes of answering this question, a Duke team recently completed a study explaining the expression of stem cells after a decade of research. Stem cells are ...

An international team of researchers found that iron limitation, through its effects on growth and trace metal usage of the microalgae that live within coral cells, could exacerbate the effects of ...

Influenza viruses are among the most likely triggers of future pandemics. A research team has developed a method that can be used to study the interaction of viruses with host cells in unprecedented ...
