Scientists at Feinberg are reshaping scientific understanding of the cell's tiniest components—structures once thought to be ...

For immune cells, the actin cytoskeleton is more than a structural scaffold. Immune cells can migrate to sites of infection ...

In the 1950s, advances in microscopy techniques allowed scientists to visualize synaptic communication between two brain cells for the first time. 1,2 However, many details beyond the general synapse ...

The research is opening new frontiers in pest control and evolutionary biology. An international group of scientists has uncovered a strange tubular structure within Profftella, a bacterium that lives ...

Most cell structures are not visible to the naked eye without using stains for visualization. The stains used in these images highlight how cell biologists use tricks to “see the invisible.” Invite ...

The cytoskeleton is a critical component of cancer cell migration and is broadly involved in cell structure and motility. The ...

A multinational research team has discovered a mysterious tubular structure — previously unknown in any organism — within ...
