During animal development, cells divide and arrange themselves in a coordinated way, eventually forming the embryo. The cells ...

Like all complex organisms, every human originates from a single cell that multiplies through countless cell divisions.

Organ-on-a-chip systems offer a more accurate, ethical, and scalable alternative to animal testing in drug discovery and ...

From single cells to complex creatures: New study points to origins of animal multicellularity Researchers at UChicago analyze genetic data and protein sequences to find key innovations that ...

Scientists don’t completely understand how this kind of multicellularity evolved in animals. Cell-to-cell adhesion, or the ability for individual cells to stick to each other, certainly plays a role, ...

That extra step, however, might hold a key for better understanding certain genetic conditions, many of which stem from ...

University of Virginia scientists discover new cell organelle called "hemifusome" that helps manage cellular recycling.

Water and air pose completely different challenges to animals on a number of levels.

While animal eggs await fertilization, their cell cycle needs to be halted. The molecule responsible for this arrest ? the cytostatic factor ? was first described in 1971. But its identity was not ...

Within the next few weeks, a handful of Australian restaurants will begin serving meat grown at a factory in inner-city Sydney. That’s right: real, living animal cells propagated in stainless steel ...

With more than 4,000 cell, gene, and RNA therapies in development, Cannon said, that is “a very big iceberg.” Charles Gersbach, PhD, a co-founder of Tune Therapeutics, discussed the potential ...

Cells are the fundamental, structural, and functional units of living organisms. Cells are composed of cytoplasm containing various organelles, such as the nucleus, in which the DNA is stored, or ...
