Cells manage a wide range of functions in their tiny package — growing, moving, housekeeping, and so on — and most of those functions require energy. But how do cells get this energy in the first ...

As far as research subjects go, it's not always easy to find common ground with a single-celled bacterium. Yet the more Paul ...

Scientists have uncovered an unexpected way cells can generate cancer-driving proteins—by cutting RNA into shorter, ...

Unlike our organs, cell organelles such as mitochondria are not fixed in place, but when, where, how, and why organelles move remain unclear. Research published in the Biophysical Journal shows that ...
