Custom polymer structures can now be 3D printed inside living cells using laser-based fabrication, opening paths to intracellular sensors, cell tracking tags, and embedded microlasers. (Nanowerk ...

3D printing technology has already transformed the field of biomedical research by allowing scientists to produce soft tissue, replacement windpipes, and working hearts on a whim. But each of these ...

A DNA nano-harvester stays on its track inside tumor cells, measuring cancer aggressiveness by detecting a key microRNA biomarker. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Detecting a cancer-linked microRNA inside a ...

In a groundbreaking fusion of biology and technology, scientists have successfully 3D printed a tiny elephant inside a living cell. This remarkable feat not only showcases the potential of 3D printing ...

For the first time, scientists have 3-D printed objects within living cells, including a 10-micrometer long elephant and tiny “barcodes” that could help track individual cells. Remarkably, many of the ...

A cell nucleus reconstituted in vitro in Xenopus laevis (African clawed frog) egg extract. Left image shows a fluorescence image where DNA has been stained and right image shows a density map of the ...

Fluorescently dyed mitochondrial material shown A) before and B) after sampling, demonstrating the capabilities of the Yokogawa SS2000 to extract subcellular components. A new analytical method could ...

Researchers developed a new machine learning method that, given a relevant amino acid sequence, can automatically predict the location of a protein in any human cell line down to the single-cell level ...

Just as life pulsates in big vibrant cities, it also prospers in crowded environments inside cells. The interior of cells is densely packed with biomolecules like proteins and nucleic acids. How is ...
