Teeth function not only because of the hard enamel on the surface, but also because they have roots that anchor them firmly ...

The formation of blood vessels is a complex process involving the interplay of proteins and mechanic forces. In two studies, a research team has uncovered new mechanisms in blood vessel formation. The ...

Organoids are three-dimensional miniature models of organs, grown in a dish. They have become a valuable tool for studying ...

In the past decade there has been significant interest in studying the expression of our genetic code down to the level of single cells, to identify the functions and activities of any cell through ...

Approximately 15 to 20 million Americans who have acquired COVID-19 experience persistent symptoms lasting over 3 months (long-COVID). Respiratory symptoms of long-COVID include breathlessness, ...

A new breakthrough for spine and nervous system formation was successfully achieved by researchers where they were able to develop human stem cell models that will soon help in addressing the problems ...

Immune cells called B cells make antibodies that fight off invading bacteria, viruses and other foreign substances. During their preparation for this battle, B cells transiently revert to a more ...

A large genetic screen has revealed how stem cells transform into brain cells, exposing hundreds of genes that make this ...

For the first time, researchers have visualized in vivo the precise timing and location of active lignin deposition in developing pear cells. This allowed them to trace how isolated cells begin ...

Memories can form outside of the brain, according to new research. Non-brain cells exposed to chemical pulses similar to the ones that brain cells are exposed to when presented with new information ...
