Understanding biology’s software—the rules that enable great plasticity in how cell collectives generate reliable anatomies—is key to advancing tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.

A new book explores the crosstalk between mind and body and how it helps humans navigate their worlds.

What do scientists know about this membraneless nuclear body discovered less than two decades ago?

Optimized tweezers enable precise 3-D manipulations of a cell’s organelles.

The physical principles that dictate the formation of these subcellular compartments are simple, but they dictate the organelles’ complex functions.

Acoustic forces can be used to differentiate adherent from non-adherent cells.

From making ribosomes to protecting the integrity of the genome, these membraneless compartments play important roles in the cell. Their behavior is rooted in basic physics.

Titin was discovered four decades ago, but some physiology textbooks fail to recognize the important role it plays in muscle contraction.

Adding or removing water changes how stem cells differentiate.
