When two cells "talk" to each other, they often do so through tiny channels called electrical synapses. Unlike chemical ...

The researchers let the cell clusters assemble in the right proportions and then used micro-manipulation tools to move or eliminate cells—essentially poking and carving them into shapes like those ...

The choreographed movements that cells perform to form complex biological shapes, like our hands, have fascinated scientists for centuries. Now, researchers at EMBL Barcelona have launched LimbNET, an ...

The newly described microbe represents a world of parasitic, intercellular biodiversity only beginning to be revealed by ...

Complex life, eukaryotes, traces its origins to a shared ancestor among the Asgard archaea, reshaping our understanding of ...

Scientists at EPFL have created a scalable 3D organoid model that captures key features of early limb development, revealing ...

Billions of years of evolution have made modern cells incredibly complex. Inside cells are small compartments called organelles that perform specific functions essential for the cell’s survival and ...

Iovance Biotherapeutics, Inc. The Food and Drug Administration has approved a novel type of cancer therapy to treat aggressive forms of melanoma using immune system cells from a patient's tumor. The ...

A first-of-its-kind trial is testing adult stem cell transplants for advanced dry macular degeneration. Early results show ...

Embryonic cells can self-assemble into new living forms that don’t resemble the bodies they usually generate, challenging old ideas of what defines an organism. The researchers let the cell clusters ...
