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

In the tiny, beaded chain of the cyanobacterium Anabaena sp. ATCC 33047, two different cells, the photosynthetic factory worker and the nitrogen-fixing specialist, play distinct and powerful roles in ...

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

A research team led by Potsdam-based bioinformatician Prof. Dr Zoran Nikoloski has developed a computational approach and an accompanying tool that enables the detailed analysis and reconstruction of ...

(a) Optical photograph of a soft-bodied macrofossil (specimen No. cy266) of unknown affinity, with abundant filamentous microfossils of Q. cambria (b–g) present on the surface. (b) SEM image of ...

Based on the dimension of the single-cell building blocks, the current biofabrication strategies with single-cell resolution can be categorized into zero-dimensional single-cell droplets, ...

Your cells aren’t just tiny blobs—they have an internal skeleton that keeps them in shape, moves things around, and even helps them adapt to change. This cytoskeleton is a dynamic network of filaments ...
