Over the years, cell biology has built a detailed picture of how cells compartmentalize their internal functions. Central to this organization is the nucleus, which houses the genetic material and is ...

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, ...

Cells were long believed to safeguard nuclear contents, releasing them only during cell death. Extracellular DNA was thought ...

Ribosomes, the cell's protein-making factories, consume large amounts of energy as they build the proteins that keep cells ...

In recent years, the field of stem cell and developmental biology has seen remarkable breakthroughs that have deepened our understanding of how organisms grow, age and regenerate, with major ...

Graham Johnson, a computational biologist and scientific illustrator at the Allen Institute for Cell Science, recalls fantasizing at a lunch table, more than 15 years ago, about a computer model of a ...
