Photosynthesis takes place in chloroplasts; cell walls allow plants to have strong, upright structures; and vacuoles help regulate how cells handle water and storage of other molecules.

“We became interested in acoustofluidics because it offers strong, biocompatible forces that effectively handle cells with minimal damage.” Acoustic waves can deliver enough force to move cells over ...

The real challenge is working with these types of cells. It is imperative that we handle cells in a physiological way because they are living cells, and only a living cell in a perfect environment ...

Engineers have created new technology that can move cells without touching them, enabling critical tasks that currently require large pieces of lab equipment to be carried out on a benchtop device.

Visualization of choline-containing phospholipids in cells and in vivo is made possible by the metabolic incorporation of a choline analog with an alkyne handle for click chemistry–based labeling.

The brain is an information-processing organ, and the brain cells that relay and handle all of this information are called neurons. With their special ability to produce and share electrical ...
