Scientists have long puzzled over the origins of eukaryotes, the domain of life defined by cells with a membrane-bound nucleus, which includes all animals, plants, fungi, and insects. If they unravel ...

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 ...

· Better growth, better results: Every cell type has its ideal pH — mammalian cells prefer about 7.4, while many plant cells ...

Plants form a critical model for understanding regulated cell death (RCD) as part of their sophisticated immune responses. In the ongoing evolutionary arms ...

Researchers from Shandong Agricultural University, led by professors Zhang Xiansheng (second from left) and Su Yinghua (second from right), have revealed how a single plant cell can develop into a ...

The Food Standards Agency (FSA), in partnership with Food Standards Scotland (FSS), has published the UK's first safety ...

A growing number of new studies have found that, at least for some cells, death isn’t the end, but the beginning of something wholly unexpected.

Researchers have found a way to control protein levels inside different tissues of a whole, living animal for the first time.

Stress affects many systems in our body and biologists Marcel Schaaf and Erin Faught at Radboud University are figuring out how that works. Their recent study showed how stress changes behavior by ...

Purdue University researchers found that a subset of epidermal cells in plant leaves serves as early responders to chemical cues from bacterial pathogens and communicate this information to neighbors ...

New research reveals that tattoo pigments don’t just stay in the skin, they migrate into lymph nodes, trigger months of inflammation, and reshape how the body responds to different vaccines. Study: ...
