Forget about locating molecules in the blink of an eye, which takes as long as a quarter second—far too long a time to distinguish a sequence of subcellular events. Instead, try doing what Stanford ...

A new, nano-scale look at how the SARS-CoV-2 virus replicates in cells may offer greater precision in drug development, a Stanford University team reports in Nature Communications. Using advanced ...

For almost 60 years, scientists have tried to understand why DNA doesn't replicate wildly and uncontrollably every time a cell divides, which happens constantly. Without this process, we would die.

Embryonic stem (ES) cells are pluripotent stem cells that can produce all cell types of an organism. ES cells proliferate rapidly and have been thought to experience high levels of intrinsic ...

For the first time, researchers at Umeå University, Sweden, can now show how the dreaded poliovirus behaves when it takes over an infected cell and tricks the cell into producing new virus particles.

A study headed by researchers at NYU Langone Health has found that herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) partially liquifies the tightly packed, gel-like interior of human cell nuclei to help copy itself ...

Cells are the smallest units of life. But even within the same tissue or organ, they are not all identical. New variations arise continuously during cell proliferation. While genetic mutations alter ...
