In the beginning, there was boredom. Following the emergence of cellular life on earth, some 3.5 billion years ago, simple cells lacking a nucleus and other detailed internal structure dominated the ...

No one has yet created a fully functioning artificial cell. But a research team at Aarhus University has taken a step in that direction: ...

Scientists at Aarhus University have developed nanomotors inspired by the bacterium Listeria monocytogenes and placed them inside artificial cells. The nanomotors drive the formation of internal ...

Biological complexity is often masked by bulk sequencing and microarray techniques, which provide an average snapshot of how cells work. In contrast, single-cell sequencing technology allows ...

Researchers have used two primary methods to assess cell morphology: microscopy and flow cytometry. Microscopic examination mostly relies on image interpretation, where the human eye analyzes cell ...

A new study challenges a popular scenario put forward to explain the arrival of the first eukaryotic organisms. In the beginning, there was boredom. Following the emergence of cellular life on earth, ...
