Researchers have built a reconfigurable light-sheet microscope that lets users swap oil, water and air objectives while ...

Microscope experiments reveal a hidden world of microorganisms, uncovering unusual behaviors, intricate structures, and ...

Cells from rapidly growing, highly metastatic tumors often contain numerous rings of extrachromosomal DNA (ecDNA). This ...

Gene-editing “typewriters” let scientists trace more than a million cells back toward the single egg they started from.

A single fertilized egg grows into a body equipped with a heart, lungs, and brain. Along the way, how do cells divide, and which cells became the 'ancestors' of which organs? On October 8, 2026, two r ...

Corals are one of the most traded and smuggled animals in the world — even more than ivory and pangolins. What do people want them for?

An international team has developed OpenCGChromatin, an open-source simulation tool that acts as a computational microscope ...

The DNA in our cells wraps around proteins called histones to form nucleosomes, which organize into chromatin. This ...

Notes by the scientist pointing to a helical structure once again challenge the distorted account of her role in the ...

Aaron Glenn has now been with the Jets for 21 games, and Sports Illustrated's Nick Faria is here to break down whether he's ...

A record player-like microscope and computer simulations solve a longtime mystery, showing that metal ions bridge DNA strands that would normally repel.

The pictures that show DNA folded inside a nucleus almost always come from tissue that was killed first. To sharpen them, researchers reach for harsh chemicals and intense laser light, and neither ...
