The Computational Cell Biology, Anatomy and Pathology PhD program is a unique connector between the basic and clinical sciences. New technology has enabled tools for examination of biological ...

Can the bend of a banana give us insight into cancer? What does the shape of a rice grain have to do with infertility? The ...

A study examined the role of the physical structure of the nucleus in cell movement through different surfaces. University of North Carolina Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center researchers have ...

The story of the cell cycle is often told only through the perspective of the chromosomes as they replicate and then divide. This resource beautifully illustrates the role of the cytoskeleton in that ...

Defining cell architecture at the mesoscale (i.e. at length scales that are larger than the molecular machinery) increases knowledge of cell function. However, many subcellular biological structures ...

Right: Cells whose actin filaments were disrupted. Time zero indicates the beginning cell plate formation. The phragmoplast microtubules are yellow, and the cell plate is magenta. Using microscopic ...
