For the first time, researchers have simulated nearly every chemical reaction in a living bacterial cell. The simulation models the virtual cell copying its DNA and dividing in two. The simulation ...

"It's a complicated story that has many interesting layers, but it's yet another example where curiosity driven research reveals the underlying mechanism of a very basic cellular process that is ...

Over the years, cell biology has built a detailed picture of how cells compartmentalize their internal functions. Central to this organization is the nucleus, which houses the genetic material and is ...

A buildup of a structural protein called F-actin inside aging brain cells appears to cripple the cellular waste-clearing machinery that keeps neurons healthy, according to a study in Drosophila fruit ...
