Innovations in imaging and genetic engineering are coming together to probe the biophysics of cytoplasm inside living animals.

UC Davis researchers tracked the movement of fluorescent particles inside the cells of microscopic worms, providing novel insights into cellular crowding in a multicellular animal. They found that the ...

New findings provide details about the hidden organization of the cytoplasm, showing it makes a big difference where in that cellular broth that messenger RNA (mRNA) get translated into proteins. The ...

Over the past decade, there have been scattered reports of mammalian cells’ own DNA being found in the cytoplasm, mainly in the context of disease and aging. While it is not unusual to find DNA from ...

The segregation of yolk from the surrounding cytoplasm in the very early fish embryo is a key process for the development of the fish larva. Researchers found that actin dynamics in the bulk of the ...

Put a banana in a blender, and you don’t expect to get it back. But blend up a bunch of living cells and new research suggests that you maybe should. If simply left alone, the liquid innards of a cell ...
