Scientists at EPFL have developed CenSpark, a fluorescent probe that makes centrioles and cilia visible inside living cells, ...

Imaging is a critical technique in biology—from identifying cancerous cells in biopsies to observing how immune cells like ...

Cells constantly probe their environments, searching for physical cues that guide their behavior. And yet a cell's response ...

Spatial proteomics is a spatial biology method that helps study the spatial distribution of the proteins within cells and tissues. The subcellular localization of proteins is intrinsic to cellular ...

Two landmark studies have advanced understanding of human cell biology, one unveiling a fluorescent probe for live imaging of centrioles and cilia, and another revealing how polyploid cancer cells ...

This past year, we explored a lot of new cell biology research—from cancer to plants to microbes, and more! It’s hard to believe what can fit in a year. Yet as we say goodbye to 2025, we want to take ...

Researchers at Tulane University School of Medicine have discovered that if animal cells gain an extra set of chromosomes, a ...

In this discussion in GEN’s “The State of Multiomics and NGS” virtual summit, originally broadcast on April 23, 2025, Jonah Cool, PhD, Science Program Officer at CZI and Sarah Teichmann, PhD, Research ...

As we age, stem cells responsible for maintaining our blood and immune systems gradually lose their resilience, but why this happens has remained unclear. A novel study from Japan and the US turns the ...

A new set of drugs exploit a recently revealed weakness in "zombie-like"—or senescent—cells that could lead to new treatments ...
