Cells constantly shift and transform, triggering the complex choreography that shapes living organisms. Whether dividing into new cells or sculpting an embryo, these tiny movements rely on chemical ...

In response to signals from certain proteins and enzymes, a cell can start to move and shake, leading to contractions that cause it to squeeze, pinch, and eventually divide. As daughter cells follow ...

Engineered starfish oocytes shape-shift in response to light, may enable the design of synthetic, light-activated cells for ...

"A starfish is a fascinating system because it starts with a ... enabling the cell to contract and move. In previous work, ...

Scientists were able to manipulate cells by changing the location of the light. With this technique, they were able to ...

MIT scientists have discovered a way to control the movements of starfish cells using light, which could have biomedical applications.

The researchers observed that light activated the enzyme, causing predictable cell movements. For example, specific light ...

Now, researchers at MIT have discovered a way to manipulate these early cellular motions using light, providing a new tool to ...

And I'm very grateful," O'Donnell said in the TikTok video as she revealed her international move. She said that she's "in the process" of getting Irish citizenship as her grandparents hail from ...
