After a decade-long quest to fill a major gap in basic biology, UChicago scientists have built a complete map of how cells ...

Using a variety of laboratory and animal models, the team found that cysteine fuels the production of the antioxidant ...

As 2025 comes to a close, the editors at The Scientist asked researchers to reflect on the biggest breakthroughs in cell biology this year. They named advances in everything from embryo models for ...

Cell signaling is crucial for cells to communicate and function correctly. Disruptions in these pathways, caused by genetic mutations or environmental factors, can lead to uncontrolled cell growth, ...

The team simulated a living cell at nanoscale resolution and recapitulated how every molecule within that cell behaved over the course of a full cell cycle. The work took many years: vast computer ...

A small but enthusiastic group of neuroscientists is exhuming overlooked experiments and performing new ones to explore whether cells record past experiences — fundamentally challenging what memory is ...

Hairy-cell leukemia (HCL) is a rare, indolent neoplasm of mature B cells with hairlike surface projections that circulate in the blood and preferentially infiltrate the bone marrow and spleen. The ...
