As organisms develop from embryos, groups of cells migrate and reshape themselves to form all manner of complex tissues.

Stomata are critical to plant biology and scientists have found a key to how they get there. Scientists studying plants have uncovered a key part of the process that forms one of the most important ...

Researchers have found a reliable way to grow helper T cells from stem cells, solving a major challenge in immune-based ...

In a groundbreaking study on the synthesis of cellulose—a major constituent of all plant cell walls—a team of Rutgers University-New Brunswick researchers have captured images of the microscopic ...

During infection, reversible switch permits flexible formation of memory T cells, long-lived blood cells that can remember pathogen encounters and respond upon reinfection. Unexpected findings have ...

In eukaryotic cells, which are found in complex organisms including humans, little membrane-bound organelles carry out various functions. It's been suggested that these organelles, which all have ...

Memories can form outside of the brain, according to new research. Non-brain cells exposed to chemical pulses similar to the ones that brain cells are exposed to when presented with new information ...
