Scientists from six Asian countries have launched an ambitious 10-year effort to build synthetic cells from non-living ...

Plant cells are surrounded by an intricately structured protective coat called the cell wall. It’s built of cellulose microfibrils intertwined with polysaccharides like hemicellulose or pectin. We ...

Researchers are no longer just simulating brains in silicon, they are wiring living human neurons into machines and asking them to compute. Tiny clusters of brain cells, grown from stem cells and ...

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 ...

In a breakthrough cancer therapy development, scientists at MIT and Harvard Medical School created a new way of designing immune cells that could make “off-the-shelf” cancer medications more potent ...

When cells experience sudden physical stress, like stretching or pressure, they can activate a fast, protective mechanism ...

Inside every cell, a network of tiny filaments, called the microtubule cytoskeleton, helps maintain the cell's shape, allows it to divide, and transports vital materials from one part of the cell to ...

Production of the solar cell plant in Hawassa, Ethiopia, is expected to start at the end of Q1 2025. Image: Toyo Solar. Japanese cell and module manufacturer Toyo Solar plans to build a 2GW solar cell ...

Scientists at McGill University have found a way to supercharge the immune system’s natural killer (NK) cells, helping them break through the defenses tumors use to stay alive. By temporarily blocking ...
