Just as the human body relies on organs such as the heart or liver for essential functions, cells depend on their own tiny ...

Researchers found that cells measure how long forces last, ignoring short stimuli while reacting to sustained stress, a ...

Squeeze a cell once and it barely flinches. Squeeze it again and again in short bursts, and something changes: a protein ...

In tissue engineering, the tiniest bit of improper force can harm a living culture. 3D clumps of cells — known as ...

Southwest Research Institute demonstrated its single-use 3D bioreactor to produce induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSCs), derived from adult skin, blood, and other somatic cells. Useful for ...

Bioengineering, the application of engineering design and analysis principles to biological systems, is an extensive field. With applications in immunotherapy, gene therapy and organ-on-a-chip models, ...

Biocompatible molecular spin sensors enable absolute thermometry in the cytoplasm and nucleus of living cancer cells.

Before seedlings can photosynthesize, they depend on fatty acids—and on peroxisomes to process them. Researchers discovered ...

‘Tiny biological batteries’ can change the cell membrane’s electrical properties – a discovery that has big implications for health, as many essential cellular processes hinge upon precise electrical ...
