A cluster of rat neurons, grown on a chip in a Japanese laboratory, just learned to generate a sine wave on command. Across ...

For the first time, researchers have successfully 3D‑printed microscopic objects directly inside living cells—including a ...

New work from UC Davis and the University of Utah shows how the 3D structure of DNA inside a germ cell commits it to develop into a sperm cell. The discovery could improve understanding of fertility ...

Close-up of a human liver lobule highlighting GLUL (glutamine synthetase) + liver cells surrounding the central vein (grey), with intensity-based pseudocoloring of CD32b expression showing the highest ...

We’ve come a long way from the Vacanti mouse. Back in the mid-90s, Charles Vacanti and other researchers experimented with cartilage regeneration and, with the help of a biodegradable mold and bovine ...

An illustration of multicolored tangle of threads within a small black sphere. A 3D illustration shows DNA packaged into the nucleus, scientists with the 4D Nucleome project are now building accurate ...

For the first time, a stem cell model has produced a structure resembling an early human embryo with a yolk-sac-like structure, from a single starting stem cell population and without direct genetic ...

Researchers at Princeton University have developed a 3-dimensional device that merges living brain cells ...

A new organelle has been discovered in human cells — and scientists call it a "hemifusome." Like the full-size organs in our bodies, the organelles within cells are specialized structures that carry ...

Most fat stores energy; the body's brown fat does the opposite. Unlike the white fat that accumulates just under our skin, ...
