T his past year, we explored a lot of new cell biology research—from cancer to plants to microbes, and more! It’s hard to ...
When killer T cells of our immune system divide, they normally undergo asymmetric cell division (ACD): Each daughter cell ...
Researchers discovered that a long-misunderstood protein plays a key role in helping chromosomes latch onto the right “tracks” during cell division. Instead of acting like a motor, it works more like ...
One of the biggest quests in biology is understanding how every cell in an animal's body carries an identical genome yet ...
The biological cycle of our existence seems relatively straightforward: we’re born, we live, we die. The end. But when you examine existence at the cellular level, things get a bit more interesting.
A growing number of new studies have found that, at least for some cells, death isn’t the end, but the beginning of something ...
