The recent discovery of glycoRNAs on the cell surface upended the world of cell biology. These glycoRNAs were found to form ...

Every second, millions of cells in your body divide in two. In the space of an hour, they duplicate their DNA and grow a web ...

Think back to that basic biology class you took in high school. You probably learned about organelles, those little “organs” inside cells that form compartments with individual functions. For example, ...

This past year, we explored a lot of new cell biology research—from cancer to plants to microbes, and more! It’s hard to believe what can fit in a year. Yet as we say goodbye to 2025, we want to take ...

The cochlea is the spiral-shaped structure within the inner ear responsible for our sense of hearing. To fully understand ...

Spatial proteomics is the study of the spatial distribution of the proteins within cells and tissues. The subcellular localization of proteins is intrinsic to cellular function, making spatial ...

Labroots and the Cell Biology Planning Committee are pleased to announce the 10th Annual Event in the Cell Biology Virtual Event Series 2026 on September 16th, 2026. This event provides an opportunity ...

Scientists have transformed enigmatic cell structures, called vaults, into storage units for messenger-RNA molecules made in ...

When killer T cells of our immune system divide, they normally undergo asymmetric cell division (ACD): Each daughter cell inherits different cellular components, which drive the cells toward divergent ...

If you've heard deep bass, the roar of a jet engine, or rumbling thunder, you may have felt it in your body. Our cells have a variety of ways to sense mechanical forces, including those that can be ...

T stem cells normally undergo asymmetric cell division (left) whereby one daughter cell becomes a long-lived memory T cell. When autophagy is disrupted, both daughter cells inherit old mitochondria ...
