A study from Cornell researchers could enable a quantum leap forward in identifying and deciphering cancer-driving genetic ...

The team recorded 24 hours of the cellular construction process, revealing surprising new details about how plant cell walls ...

New research sheds light on one of the biggest questions in biology: where did complex life come from? The answer may lie ...

Scientists at EMBL have captured how human chromosomes fold into their signature rod shape during cell division, using a ...

DNA is fundamental to the biology of all life on Earth, but how many of us actually know what it is or what it's made of?

For successful cell division, chromosomal DNA needs to be packed into compact rod-shaped structures. Defects in this process can lead to cell death or diseases like cancer. A new study has shown how ...

Among the many marvels of life is the cell's ability to divide and thus enable organisms to grow and renew themselves. For ...

Who were our earliest ancestors? The answer could lie in a special group of single-celled organisms with a cytoskeleton similar to that of complex organisms, such as animals and plants.

Ten years ago, nobody knew that Asgard archaea even existed. In 2015, however, researchers examining deep-sea sediments ...

Cell biology is the discipline of biological sciences that studies the structure, physiology, growth, reproduction and death of cells. Research in cell biology uses microscopic and molecular tools ...

The EKU Department of Biological Sciences offers a range of degrees and concentrations as broad as the field itself, including Biology, Biomedical Sciences, and Wildlife Management. Students benefit ...
