Superresolution microscopy allowed researchers to view cells at the molecular level. Improvements on the technique can help study the building blocks of complex cell processes over time.
The immortal cancer cells of Henrietta Lacks revolutionized the fields of science, medicine and bioethics. And they still survive today, more than 70 years after her death.
You are probably familiar with graphics depicting the double helix structure of DNA. But have you ever seen a single DNA molecule standing straight?
Mathematical models can describe the many shapes of DNA, as well as cellular processes like DNA replication.
The way melanoma cells manage tangled DNA could explain why they rapidly develop resistance to cancer treatment. Researchers…
Cells use a tiny machine called the mitotic spindle to share genetic material equally between cells when they divide. But when this process goes wrong it can lead to cancer. For many years we’ve been interested…
More than 60 years of scientific thought has been contradicted in a new study examining Columbine flowers. The flowers…
