As 2025 comes to a close, the editors at The Scientist asked researchers to reflect on the biggest breakthroughs in cell biology this year. They named advances in everything from embryo models for ...

Spatial proteomics is a spatial biology method that helps study the spatial distribution of the proteins within cells and tissues. The subcellular localization of proteins is intrinsic to cellular ...

A Moffitt Cancer Center researcher has introduced a new model that addresses one of biology's most fundamental questions: How does genetic information keep living systems organized and therefore alive ...

From cell biology to ecosystems, virtual labs are making science more interactive, accessible, and engaging than ever. Students can experiment, make mistakes, and learn in safe, flexible environments.

Recycling takes place in our cells at all times: in a process called autophagy, cell components that are no longer needed are enclosed by membranes and broken down into their basic building blocks.

T cells are crucial components of our immune system, serving as critical protectors against infection and disease.

High-resolution imaging reveals a large protein complex in egg cells that stores key developmental molecules. The structure keeps proteins inactive until needed, offering insights into infertility and ...
