Scientists are exploring ways to mimic the origins of human life without two fundamental components: sperm and egg. They are coaxing clusters of stem cells – programmable cells that can transform into ...

From the moment an embryo starts to take shape, two-way communication is critical for making sure tissues and organs develop ...

One of the holy grails of biology is digitally simulating a living cell. If researchers can use computers to more accurately understand how new medicines would react in the body, that could give them ...

Researchers have developed a vascularized organoid model of hormone secreting cells in the pancreas. The advance promises to improve diabetes research and cell-based therapies. Researchers led by ...

If Stephen Quake gets his way, biologists in the future will spend a lot less time wielding pipettes. “Our goal,” he says, “is to create computational tools so that cell biology goes from being 90% ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have developed a new stem cell model of the mature human amniotic sac, which replicates development of the tissues supporting the embryo from two to four ...

Yusuf Roohani, PhD, machine learning group lead at the Arc Institute, is among a team of researchers training artificial intelligence (AI) models with transcriptome data to predict how cell gene ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Without even thinking about it, the bone marrow in your body is ...

During early development, tissues and organs begin to bloom through the shifting, splitting, and growing of many thousands of ...

A human cell is a Rube Goldberg machine like no other, full of biological chain reactions that make the difference between life and death. Understanding these delicate relationships and how they go ...
