After centuries of mapping the human body in ever-finer detail, scientists are still making discoveries. Here we are, in 2025, and a previously unknown cellular structure that could be vital to our ...

In a groundbreaking fusion of biology and technology, scientists have successfully 3D printed a tiny elephant inside a living cell. This remarkable feat not only showcases the potential of 3D printing ...

Over the past two decades, researchers have learned that DNA inside the cell nucleus naturally folds into a network of ...

A hidden structure inside the cell is rewriting how scientists understand leukemia. Beneath the microscope, what looked like disorder turned out to follow a simple physical rule – one that connects ...

Ever wanted to ride a rollercoaster through the inside of a bacterial cell? Now you can, at least in Minecraft. Researchers from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign created CraftCells – ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Conceptual illustration of the bidirectional quantitative scattering microscope, which detects both forward and backward scattered ...

A previously unknown structure discovered in our cells could pave the way toward new treatments for various genetic disorders. The existence of the organelle—which has been dubbed the "hemifusome"—was ...

Before cells can divide, they first need to replicate all of their chromosomes, so that each of the daughter cells can receive a full set of genetic material. Until now, scientists had believed that ...

DNA's iconic double helix does more than "just" store genetic information. Under certain conditions, it can temporarily fold ...

Scientists have long known that cellular membranes vary in thickness, but measuring those differences inside actual cells has been out of reach. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest sci-tech ...

In A Nutshell As cells age, they deliberately shrink a major internal structure called the endoplasmic reticulum. This downsizing happens early in adulthood and shifts cells away from protein ...
