For the first time, a breathing lung model has been made using cells from only one person. Announced on January 1, the development comes from researchers at the Francis Crick Institute in London and ...

One of the biggest quests in biology is understanding how every cell in an animal's body carries an identical genome yet still gives rise to a kaleidoscope of different cell types and tissues. A ...

An experimental drug developed at Northwestern University has demonstrated further promise as an early intervention for Alzheimer's disease. In a new study, Northwestern scientists identified a ...

During early development, tissues and organs begin to bloom through the shifting, splitting, and growing of many thousands of cells. A team of MIT engineers has now developed a way to predict, minute ...

Researchers recently developed a bone marrow model to study how the body generates cells. Interestingly, this model is the first of its kind to be developed entirely from human cells. Not only can ...

Typically, bone marrow research relies heavily on animal models and oversimplified cell cultures in the laboratory. Now, researchers from the Department of Biomedicine at the University of Basel and ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Without even thinking about it, the bone marrow in your body is ...

Our body’s “blood factory” consists of specialized tissue made up of bone cells, blood vessels, nerves and other cell types. Now, researchers have succeeded for the first time in recreating this ...

Cells change shape to move efficiently in a range of spatial environments. This response can be informed by the cell’s memory of past deformation. Read the paper: The actin cortex acts as a mechanical ...
