Imaging wall-less plant cells every six minutes for 24 hours revealed how the cells build their protective barriers.

which can be used to study the role of certain genes in early development. These structures are not actual embryos but assemblies of lab-grown cells that self-organize in ways that mimic some aspects ...

Interphase The cell spends most of its life in this phase. The DNA in chromosomes copies itself ready for mitosis. Prophase The DNA in chromosomes and their copies condenses to become more visible.

Life takes shape with the motion of a single cell. In response to signals from certain proteins and enzymes, a cell can start ...

Accumulating evidence indicates that epigenetic modifiers have key roles in genome-wide reprogramming and activation and repression of specific genes during mammalian germ-cell development.
