A protein that helps generate the force needed for single cells to move works differently in cells moving in groups, a new study shows. A protein that helps generate the force needed for single cells ...

Inside every living cell, tiny molecular machines are constantly in motion, shifting shapes, tugging on membranes and shuttling ions from one side to the other. That restless activity does more than ...

A study focusing on analyzing cell models found universality in their movement—an important discovery that could impact both health and robotics. The study "Evidence of universal conformal invariance ...

Behavior of a spherical capsule in a pulsatile flow. A single capsule moving in the direction of the flow is superimposed. Fukuoka, Japan—As you read this sentence, trillions of cells are moving ...

Engineers have created new technology that can move cells without touching them, enabling critical tasks that currently require large pieces of lab equipment to be carried out on a benchtop device.

A moving cell looks simple from a distance. One edge pushes forward, the rest follows, and the whole thing creeps along as if its contents somehow know where to go. That neat picture leaves out a ...

The sunlight-collecting organelles known as chloroplasts solve a packing problem: how to optimize photosynthesis without ...
