For the first time, scientists have grown functional, brain-like tissue without using any animal-derived materials or added biological coatings. The development opens the door to more controlled and ...

UCR scientists create a fully synthetic model for growing brain cells that could allow for animal-free drug testing.

One small compartment inside the nucleus has come into focus with regards to aging: the nucleolus. Its main job is simple and ...

A soft microrobot uses light driven motion, temperature sensing, and localized heating to control single cells inside 3D ...

Cell division is a process of remarkable precision: during each cycle, the genetic material must be evenly distributed between the two daughter cells. To achieve this, duplicated chromosomes, known as ...

What if the Primitive Technology style met human biology? This video dives into the idea of building a human from the most ...

Mutations drive evolution, but they can also be risky. New research led by plant biologists at the University of California, Davis, published Nov. 10 in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences ...

New live-cell imaging data show that Telomir-1 markedly lowers intracellular iron levels at submicromolar concentrations in ...

In laboratories, some are cultivating human brain cells to transform them into biological circuits for supercomputers—a ...

Chromosome compartment analysis of a cancer cell line cohort reveals different subsets of compartment changes where some track epithelial to mesenchymal transition while others reflect secondary ...

Down syndrome is caused by an error in cell division during development. Individuals receive three copies of chromosome 21 instead of the typical two copies, resulting in duplicates of the genes ...

In a town on the shores of Lake Geneva sit clumps of living human brain cells for hire. These blobs, about the size of a ...
