This past year, we explored a lot of new cell biology research—from cancer to plants to microbes, and more! It’s hard to believe what can fit in a year. Yet as we say goodbye to 2025, we want to take ...

The bacterial flagellar motor is finally understood after 50 years. In its workings, columnist Natalie Wolchover finds the ...

One of the biggest challenges in cancer research is understanding why some tumor cells become especially aggressive, invasive ...

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 ...

If you've heard deep bass, the roar of a jet engine, or rumbling thunder, you may have felt it in your body. Our cells have a variety of ways to sense mechanical forces, including those that can be ...

The UNC School of Medicine recently announced its new Masters of Science in Cell Biology and Physiology, with the program's first cohort set to begin coursework in the fall 2025 semester. The nine ...

Cancer cells that accumulate extra copies of their entire chromosome set can start behaving like immune cells, swallowing ...

Imaging is a critical technique in biology—from identifying cancerous cells in biopsies to observing how immune cells like ...
