Studying the process of brain formation illuminates just how much of development is a series of tiny miracles. Only a few weeks after a human egg is fertilized, a sheet of cells called the neural ...

In research that could shed light on the growth and formation of complex tissue architectures, Brown University engineers ...

When you were first conceived, you were a single cell. From this basic fact, we can extrapolate a few things, most especially that all the cells that make up your body today came (indirectly) from ...

This is a top-down cross-section of one of the 3D hollow spheres (lumenoids) that our cells can create. The different colors are for different proteins, which allows you to see some striking ...

Cells are not immortal, and that is a good thing. After a certain number of divisions, many human cells stop multiplying for good. They enter a state called replicative senescence, where growth ceases ...

When a rhinovirus, the most frequent cause of the common cold, infects the lining of our nasal passages, our cells work ...

Megan Baldridge and her co-workers will use their Global Grant for Gut Health (GGGH) to examine which human proteins interact with bacteriophage viruses in the gut, and how this might trigger ...

Custom polymer structures can now be 3D printed inside living cells using laser-based fabrication, opening paths to intracellular sensors, cell tracking tags, and embedded microlasers.
