A new study led by researchers from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev (BGU) reveals that living matter violates previously ...

The mechanical properties of red blood cells (erythrocytes) at various temperatures could play an important role in mammals' ability to hibernate. This is the outcome of a study that compared the ...

Basic biology courses teach that cells contain organelles—such as the nucleus, mitochondria and Golgi apparatus—set apart by lipid membranes to get things done. Recent cell biology research has ...

In about one out of every 1,000 pregnancies, the neural tube, a key nervous system structure, fails to close properly. Georgia Tech physicists are now helping explain why this happens, having ...

(Iana Kunitsa/Moment/Getty Images) Every cell in your body is running on tiny power stations. Mitochondria turn energy from ...

Our ability to hear relies on tiny “hair bundles” in the inner ear. A new thermodynamical model offers an explanation for the different ways that bundles oscillate. A new thermodynamical model ...

The cells in our bodies move in groups during biological processes such as wound healing and tissue development – but because of resistance, or viscosity, those cells can’t just neatly glide past each ...

Researchers at Georgia Tech and Emory fabricated model blood vessel systems that include artificial blood vessels with diameters as narrow as the smallest capillaries in the body. The systems were ...

A novel crystallization approach boosts submerged solar cells to unprecedented stability, enabling effective conversion of ...

Mitochondria—tiny structures that convert nutrients into energy—are often depicted as discrete kidney bean-shaped objects. But in reality, they form a dynamic, interconnected network throughout the ...
