Filopodia help cells move but also aid cancer spread. Scientists have revealed how fascin proteins build these structures, ...

The solution is said to be in equilibrium – there is therefore no net movement in one direction. Water leaves the cell by osmosis. The cytoplasm shrinks and pulls away from the cell wall.

Nucleus Carries genetic information and controls what happens inside the cell Plant and animal cells Mitochondria Where respiration takes place, releasing energy for the cell Plant and animal ...

Most of our cells cannot move, but those that can do so move systematically, one after the other, as if on a track. They also ...

Louis has found that cells can generate and use lower force yet move faster than cells generating and using high forces, turning the age-old assumption of force on its head. The laboratory of Amit ...

Many Fred Hutch scientists seek a deeper understanding of fundamental cellular structures. Structures inside cells influence everything from individual cell movement to an organism’s metabolism. They ...

This internal left-right asymmetry is believed to begin at the very early stage of development -- when a tiny embryo is divided into two parts during a process called gastrulation. This process ...
