Researchers succeeded in creating cells whose proliferation can be controlled. The technique enables new and safe cell therapies. Cell therapies could help in the treatment of hereditary diseases, ...

For people with two hands, one is usually dominant. On a molecular level, life takes this to the extreme. All of the DNA in earthly living things... What are 'mirror cells' and why do some scientists ...

In a cramped, windowless room on the University of California, Berkeley, campus, two bespoke microscopes—each a Swiss Army ...

Studying the cell is a difficult and time-consuming process, but scientists have pinpointed generative AI as a potential way to make it easier. The idea is to develop an AI virtual cell that would ...

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 ...

Researchers have developed a new organoid that mimics the human fetal pancreas, offering a clearer view of its early development. The researchers were able to recreate a complete structure that ...

Grid cells are a class of specialized neurons in a brain region called the entorhinal cortex, which is known to support spatial navigation and some memory processes. Past neuroscience studies have ...

Researchers from the Wellcome Sanger Institute and collaborators say they have combined spatial and single-cell data from 1.6 million cells to create the most comprehensive cell map of the human gut ...

A small but enthusiastic group of neuroscientists is exhuming overlooked experiments and performing new ones to explore whether cells record past experiences — fundamentally challenging what memory is ...
