Flow cytometry is a widely used technique in modern research labs. It employs various principles to analyze the physical and biochemical characteristics of cells. Conventional flow cytometry ...

The cell cycle of budding yeast is governed by an intricate protein regulatory network whose dysregulation can lead to lethal mistakes or aberrant cell division cycles. In this work, we model this ...

The team simulated a living cell at nanoscale resolution and recapitulated how every molecule within that cell behaved over the course of a full cell cycle. The work took many years: vast computer ...

A simulated cell in the early stages of division. Left half shows cytoplasm (blue cubes), mRNA degradation machinery molecules (pink), and sugar transporters (brown). Right half adds the membrane ...

The researchers, led by chemistry professor Zan Luthey-Schulten at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, present their findings in the journal Cell. In two videos, researchers describe the work ...

Inside the human airway, a certain cell type reigns supreme: multiciliated cells, decorated with dozens of hair-like cilia all beating in tandem. These cells are responsible for clearing out foreign ...
