Cells constantly probe their environments, searching for physical cues that guide their behavior. And yet a cell's response ...

"Every single cell can have a different chromosome structure," Cheng, a Curators' Distinguished Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, said. "Our tool helps scientists study those ...

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 ...

Their findings, recently reported in the journal Nature, overturn longstanding assumptions in developmental biology and could ...

Life and death are traditionally viewed as opposites. But the emergence of new multicellular life-forms from the cells of a dead organism introduces a “third state” that lies beyond the traditional ...

As we age, our ability to maintain healthy blood and a strong immune system gradually declines, largely because hematopoietic ...

Long known as a messenger within cells, RNA is increasingly seen as life’s molecular communication system — even between organisms widely separated by evolution. For a molecule of RNA, the world is a ...
