Scientists used light to control how a starfish egg cell jiggles and moves during its earliest stage of development. Their optical system could guide the design of synthetic, light-activated cells for ...

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

Advanced techniques are allowing scientists to witness the process where plant cells generate cellulose fibers.

That process, called carbon fixation, resulted in the assembly of two three-carbon molecules called 3-phosphoglycerate (3-PGA ...
