Cell Biology is the study of cells, the fundamental unit of life, and their various functions within living organisms. It encompasses a wide range of topics, including cell structure, function, communication, and division, as well as the role of cells in disease and the development of new therapies. Cell biologists use a variety of techniques, from microscopy to genetic engineering, to investigate the complex mechanisms that govern cellular behavior. On this page, you will find a collection of articles related to cell biology research and discoveries, including updates on current projects, new findings, and insights into the interesting world of cells.

Aging clocks can accurately determine a person’s biological age, which can differ from their chronological age—the age calculated from their date of birth—due to environmental…
University of Southern California Dornsife molecular biologist John Tower suggests that while living things generally prefer stability to conserve energy and resources, instability may also…
Researchers have identified a gene therapy target that could potentially slow the development and progression of degenerative diseases. Proteins serve as building blocks, receptors, processors,…
Scientists have discovered that the way cancer cells die from chemotherapy appears to be different than previously understood. New research highlights the Schlafen11 gene’s role…
In the early 20th century, antibiotics gained widespread recognition as an effective treatment for bacterial infections. In what is deemed as the antibiotic golden age,…
A breakthrough study by the Institut Curie reveals that embryonic cell compaction in humans is caused by cell contraction, offering new insights to enhance assisted…
