The mitochondria (center) is part of the cell machinery. (SciePro/Science Photo Library/Getty Images) To properly understand ...
"Every single cell can have a different chromosome structure," Cheng, a Curators' Distinguished Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, said. "Our tool helps scientists study those ...
The mechanical process of cell division exerts powerful, if microscopic, forces. How do the molecular machines that power it ...
Life and death are traditionally viewed as opposites. But the emergence of new multicellular life-forms from the cells of a dead organism introduces a “third state” that lies beyond the traditional ...
Long known as a messenger within cells, RNA is increasingly seen as life’s molecular communication system — even between organisms widely separated by evolution. For a molecule of RNA, the world is a ...
