Kate Adamala started work on a cell in which the natural molecular structure is reversed. Then a possible doomsday scenario became clear.

Infrared vibrational spectroscopy at BESSY II can be used to create high-resolution maps of molecules inside live cells and ...

The chemical reactions on which life depends need a place to happen. That place is the cell. All the things which biology recognises as indisputably alive are either cells or conglomerations of cells ...

A small but enthusiastic group of neuroscientists is exhuming overlooked experiments and performing new ones to explore whether cells record past experiences — fundamentally challenging what memory is ...

How does a cell know when it’s been damaged? A molecular alarm, set off by mutated RNA and colliding ribosomes, signals danger. When the sun shines on your skin, what does it hit? When it causes a ...
