Every time a cell divides, it must copy its DNA with extraordinary precision. But this process is constantly challenged by ...

The shape and morphology of a cell play a key role in the biological function. This corresponds to the principle of "form follows function," which is common in modern fields of design and architecture ...

Organelles in cells perform many specialized functions, but the mitochondrion is unique among them. This crucial organelle, often known as the powerhouse of the cell, also carries its own little ...

Fluorescence microscopy illustrates immune cell–mediated extraction of nuclear DNA from dying cells, highlighting a newly identified process called nucleocytosis. Over the years, cell biology has ...

A system once tied to DNA organization in cyanobacteria has evolved into a structure that shapes the cell itself. This shift ...

A tiny switch in DNA allows neurons to change their function depending on the environment and alter behavior in worms.
