Scientists have finally watched influenza viruses break into living human cells in real time, catching the microscopic invaders as they latch on, glide across the surface and slip inside. Instead of a ...

A simulated cell in the early stages of division. Left half shows membrane (green cubes), and ribosomes (yellow/purple) interwoven through in the cell’s chromosome (red). Right side shows all the ...

You may have heard about people making paintings on a grain of rice, but is it possible to create something inside a living cell, which is thousands of times smaller? Well, for the first time, a team ...

Disease research has always been about understanding tiny pieces of life. Scientists study how cells behave when sickness strikes the body. Every illness tells a story at the microscopic level.

A microscopic image shows small red centers connected by networks of branched and straight filaments. The team mixed purified actin monomers with precise concentrations of two nucleation-promoting ...

The image shows an α-synuclein oligomer (blue) partially inserted into a cell membrane (left). Over time, it forms a pore (right) that allows molecules to pass through for a short period. The oligomer ...
