Metabolism, far from being just a housekeeping function, underlies all changes in cell size and function ...
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 ...
The size of cells can vary widely from one species to another; the cells of phytoplankton are about one micron while frog oocytes can reach one millimeter. Even within one organism, there can be huge ...
Scientists have searched for years to understand how cells measure their size. Cell size is critical. It's what regulates cell division in a growing organism. When the microscopic structures double in ...

New research shows greater separation of molecules in smaller-sized artificial cells. New research shows that cell size and membranes may play a key role in regulating the distribution of molecules ...
New research suggests that many embryonic cells commit to a developmental fate when they become too small to divide unevenly anymore. The developing embryo is a finely tuned machine. Its cells know ...
