Some of the body's cells stay put for life, while others are free to roam. To move, these migratory cells rely on filopodia—sensitive, finger-like protrusions that reach out from the cell membrane ...

Human bodies make 2 million red blood cells per second. They each live for 120 days and spend that time zooming completely around the body every 20 seconds, carrying oxygen from the lungs to other ...

How the Cell's Internal Framework Shapes Brain Development Actin plays a central role in the cytoskeleton, the internal framework that gives cells structure and helps move materials inside them. In ...

Learn how SpudCell, a synthetic cell built from chemical parts, can grow, divide, copy its DNA, and bring life-like behavior ...

Dysfunctions of the tiny cell processes (primary cilia) of the pancreatic beta cells could be a cause of type 2 diabetes. Little is known about the structure and function of these cilia. An ...

Think back to that basic biology class you took in high school. You probably learned about organelles, those little “organs” inside cells that form compartments with individual functions. For example, ...
