Inside every living cell, tiny molecular machines are constantly in motion, shifting shapes, tugging on membranes and ...

A protein that helps generate the force needed for single cells to move works differently in cells moving in groups, a new study shows. A protein that helps generate the force needed for single cells ...

Behavior of a spherical capsule in a pulsatile flow. A single capsule moving in the direction of the flow is superimposed. Fukuoka, Japan—As you read this sentence, trillions of cells are moving ...

Unlike our organs, cell organelles such as mitochondria are not fixed in place, but when, where, how, and why organelles move ...

Like us, cells communicate. Well, in their own special way. Using waves as their common language, cells tell one another where and when to move. They talk, they share information, and they work ...

In tumors, cells follow microscopic fibers, comparable to following roads through a city. Researchers at Rochester Institute of Technology developed a new technique to study different features of ...

The spread of tumor from the primary cancer site to distant organs, called metastasis, has puzzled scientists for many years—they are only now beginning to pinpoint triggers and mechanisms that drive ...

Every cell depends on proteins to function and stay healthy. These proteins are made inside the cell from amino acids, but ...
