Researchers reset aged stem cells to a much younger state.

Hyperspectral imaging has provided an insight into how cells organize and prioritize organelle growth. As cells grow, their organelles also need to grow. But do all the organelles grow at the same ...

Plants' ability to sense light and temperature, and their ability to adapt to climate change, hinges on free-forming structures in their cells whose function was, until now, a mystery. Researchers ...

A technique using thin sheets of light can image and analyse multiple organelles, and visualize more than 1,400 cells a minute on a single platform 1. The system can advance fluorescence microscopy, ...

Scientists at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital have shown that nutrient availability and organelle biology affect the development of tissue-resident memory T cells. “We are excited to introduce a ...
