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, ...

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 ...

Lipids, or fats, are essential to life. They form the membranes around cells, protecting them from the outside. In nature, there is an enormous diversity of lipids, with each organism having its own ...

It is one of the most fundamental questions in science: how can lifeless molecules come together to form a living cell? Bert Poolman, Professor of Biochemistry at the University of Groningen, has been ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Even cells experience peer pressure. Scientists have long studied the ins and outs of cancer cells to learn more about the disease, but they're increasingly finding that noncancerous cells near the ...

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 ...

The goal of the Human Liver Cell Atlas (HLiCA) is to create a comprehensive map that defines the normal functions of diverse liver cell types and their spatial relationships over the human lifespan.
