For decades, scientists have been all about DNA when it comes to cancer. But new research from Virginia Tech and Tel Aviv ...

Researchers found that smaller cancer cells with doubled DNA often behaved more aggressively than larger ones.

Physical pressure can stop cancer cells from growing large enough to divide, revealing why squeezed tumors may stall.

What keeps our cells the right size? Scientists have long puzzled over this fundamental question, since cells that are too large or too small are linked to many diseases. Until now, the genetic basis ...

New research describes how cells judge their size to know when to stop dividing. In this digital microscopy image, waves of cell division sweep through a fruit fly embryo to reduce cell size. Credit: ...

The human body is made up of a complex community of trillions of cells of diverse shapes and sizes, all working together to keep you alive. The smallest of these cells, like platelets and red blood ...

Cells are tiny, so we use microscopes to see their details. A slide is a thin piece of glass used to hold objects which are examined under a microscope. Peel a thin layer of cells from an onion. Place ...
