Billions of years of evolution have made modern cells incredibly complex. Inside cells are small compartments called organelles that perform specific functions essential for the cell’s survival and ...

Cells have a clever way called clathrin-mediated endocytosis to transport cargos like growth factors across the cell membrane and into the cell. Researchers used a sophisticated fluorescence ...

A growing body of work suggests that cell metabolism — the chemical reactions that provide energy and building materials — plays a vital, overlooked role in the first steps of life. Each of us starts ...

Cells can be thought of as cities, with factories, a transport system, and lots of building activity. An international team ...

When NASA's upcoming Dragonfly probe skims the lakes of Saturn's moon Titan, it may encounter a froth akin to Earth's first signs of life, a new study suggests. Titan is strikingly similar to Earth in ...
