Custom polymer structures can now be 3D printed inside living cells using laser-based fabrication, opening paths to intracellular sensors, cell tracking tags, and embedded microlasers.

Human cells are extremely small and tightly packed – at about 20 micrometers across, ...

A new kind of microscope is giving scientists a way to watch life inside cells with a clarity that feels almost unfair.

In a groundbreaking fusion of biology and technology, scientists have successfully 3D printed a tiny elephant inside a living cell. This remarkable feat not only showcases the potential of 3D printing ...

Researchers at Colorado State University have determined how to use artificial intelligence to modify antibodies so they act ...

Cells do more than carry out chemical reactions. New theoretical work suggests they may also generate usable electrical ...

3D printing technology has already transformed the field of biomedical research by allowing scientists to produce soft tissue, replacement windpipes, and working hearts on a whim. But each of these ...

Metabolism, far from being just a housekeeping function, underlies all changes in cell size and function ...

One of the most detailed 3D maps of how the human chromosomes are organized and folded within a cell's nucleus is published in Nature. Chromosomes are thread-like structures that carry a cell's ...
