A new kind of microscope is giving scientists a way to watch life inside cells with a clarity that feels almost unfair.

Life begins with a single fertilized cell that gradually transforms into a multicellular organism. This process requires ...

Cells have always hummed with activity. They make their own energy, package it into molecules like ATP, and spend it ...

In many submerged regions, murky mud shelters strange life-forms that seem to be the key to one of the biggest mysteries of life on Earth. These creatures belong to a domain of life called the archaea ...

The death of an organism does not spell the end for its cells, according to new research. Cells have been shown to continue to function even after the organism they originated from is deceased, often ...

Giant DNA viruses that infect eukaryotic cells are thought to have played a role in the evolution of life, according to the ...

Billions of years of evolution have made modern cells incredibly complex. Inside cells are small compartments called organelles that perform specific functions essential for the cell’s survival and ...

Life and death are traditionally viewed as opposites. But the emergence of new multicellular life-forms from the cells of a dead organism introduces a “third state” that lies beyond the traditional ...

Scientists have developed a groundbreaking cryo-optical microscopy technique that freezes living cells mid-action, capturing ultra-detailed snapshots of fast biological processes. By rapidly ...

Scientists are exploring ways to mimic the origins of human life without two fundamental components: sperm and egg. They are coaxing clusters of stem cells – programmable cells that can transform into ...

The city of Sugar Land awarded its first life sciences incentive to the local stem cell therapeutics company Hope Biosciences ...
