Vaults are mysterious cellular structures that can be genetically engineered to store information about a cell’s history.
Custom polymer structures can now be 3D printed inside living cells using laser-based fabrication, opening paths to intracellular sensors, cell tracking tags, and embedded microlasers.
Human cells are extremely small and tightly packed – at about 20 micrometers across, ...
3D printing technology has already transformed the field of biomedical research by allowing scientists to produce soft tissue, replacement windpipes, and working hearts on a whim. But each of these ...
A new kind of microscope is giving scientists a way to watch life inside cells with a clarity that feels almost unfair. Instead of choosing between seeing big structures or tiny particles, researchers ...
Researchers at Colorado State University have determined how to use artificial intelligence to modify antibodies so they act ...
Researchers developed a new machine learning method that, given a relevant amino acid sequence, can automatically predict the location of a protein in any human cell line down to the single-cell level ...
One of the most detailed 3D maps of how the human chromosomes are organized and folded within a cell's nucleus is published in Nature. Chromosomes are thread-like structures that carry a cell's ...
A cell nucleus reconstituted in vitro in Xenopus laevis (African clawed frog) egg extract. Left image shows a fluorescence image where DNA has been stained and right image shows a density map of the ...
