If you took high school biology, you probably learned about cell division: a crucial process in all life forms officially called mitosis. For over one hundred years, students have learned that during ...

Weighing a single living cell sounds like a party trick, yet the numbers involved are so small that they push the limits of ...

Researchers discovered that a long-misunderstood protein plays a key role in helping chromosomes latch onto the right “tracks” during cell division. Instead of acting like a motor, it works more like ...

A virtual cell modeling system, powered by AI, will lead to breakthroughs in our understanding of diseases, argue the cofounders of the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative. As the smallest living units, cells ...

Given troves of data about genes and cells, A.I. models have made some surprising discoveries. What could they teach us someday? Credit...Doug Chayka Supported by By Carl Zimmer In 1889, a French ...

Until now, cells dividing by mitosis were thought to grow round and then split into two identical, spherical daughter cells. New research has found that some cells are isomorphic, meaning they retain ...
