Organs-on-a-chip are miniature devices that use human cells to mimic organs. Harvard bioengineer Donald Ingber and colleagues ...

Animals, from worms and sponges to jellyfish and whales, contain anywhere from a few thousand to tens of trillions of nearly ...

A new study by scientists at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill reveals that the cells shaping our organs may be ...

Hyperspectral imaging has provided an insight into how cells organize and prioritize organelle growth.

Human–animal chimaeras are an exciting yet challenging area of research. Human cells are coaxed to grow in animal embryos, allowing researchers to study human tissue development. But the long-term ...

There might be a paradox in the biology of ageing. As humans grow older, their metabolisms tend to slow, they lose muscle ...

Diagram of generic plant and animal cells, showing major organelles including nucleus, nucleolus, rough endoplasmic reticulum, smooth endoplasmic reticulum, cell ...

The main contribution of this paper is to show that the discrete setting provided by Tonti diagrams not only allows to define discrete counterparts of the differential operators and constituive ...

Cells perfectly divide genetic material using a complex machine. New research reveals a chemical tag on a key protein in this ...
