Cell biology
Biobots arise from the cells of dead organisms
Given the right conditions, certain types of cells are able to self-assemble into new lifeforms after the organism they were once part of has died.
Bridging the gap – enhancing and unifying bone RNA-seq data
Researchers aimed to increase the number of osteoblasts and osteocytes collected and combine their data with other studies to help standardize nomenclature.
The molecular biology behind exercise
Researchers in Beijing use proteomic analysis to understand the muscular adaptations made during concentric and eccentric movements.
These proteins have been secretly managing your cells
Scientists have long known that histones spool DNA and help regulate genes. They may be doing a lot more.
Engineering cells to broadcast their behavior can help scientists study their inner workings
Researchers can use waves to transmit signals from the invisible processes and dynamics underlying how cells make decisions.

Beyond microscopy: Mass spec's role in biopsies. Proteomic changes in learning and memory. Mapping mitochondria using mass spec. Read about recent papers on these topics.
Scientists track 'doubling' in origin of cancer cells
Researchers at Johns Hopkins say they have charted a molecular pathway that can lure cells down a hazardous path of duplicating their genome too many times.
Cell’s 'garbage disposal' may have another role
Researchers at Johns Hopkins University have determined that the proteasome could be helping neurons near skin sense the environment.
Universal tool for tracking cell-to-cell interactions
A team of researchers has developed LIPSTIC, which can lay the groundwork for a dynamic map tracking physical interactions between different cells — the elusive cellular interactome.
