When scientist J. Craig Venter and his team announced in 2010 that they had created the first cell controlled by a fully synthetic genome, it marked a turning point in how scientists think about life.
When the body encounters infection or cancer, cytotoxic T lymphocytes attach to the affected cell and form the immune synapse ...
Cells use a surprising “pearling” motion to evenly distribute mitochondrial DNA. This newly uncovered process may be key to ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...

Scientists accidentally discover a pond organism that breaks biology’s most universal rule — its DNA uses stop codons to build proteins
The pond at Oxford University Parks is not much to look at. It is a small, artificial freshwater basin on the edge of campus, ...
The sunlight-collecting organelles known as chloroplasts solve a packing problem: how to optimize photosynthesis without ...
Labroots and the Cell Biology Planning Committee are pleased to announce the 10th Annual Event in the Cell Biology Virtual Event Series 2026 on September 16th, 2026. This event provides an opportunity ...
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 ...
