Researchers simulated nearly every molecule in a bacterial cell — and then watched the cell grow and reproduce.

Researchers have developed a human intestinal cell model that closely mimics the structure and function of the human gut, enabling more precise prediction of drug-induced gastrointestinal toxicity ...

Descriptions of the embryo go back at least to the time of Aristotle, but it has only been since the late 19 th century and early 20 th century that advances in experimental approaches allowed ...

Advanced 3D cell models recreate the complexity of human tissues, enabling researchers to examine tumor progression, probe neurological disorders, and assess therapeutic candidates. By capturing the ...

Understanding how cells process nutrients and produce energy - collectively known as metabolism - is essential in biology. However, analyzing the vast amounts of data on cellular processes to ...

Using mathematical analysis of patterns of human and animal cell behavior, scientists say they have developed a computer program that mimics the behavior of such cells in any part of the body. Led by ...

Early detection of safety liabilities of new therapies is a critical biopharmaceutical challenge. Addressing this challenge could significantly advance drug discovery. Advanced human cell models, ...

Allergy research has historically relied on traditional systems such as 2D cell cultures and mouse models to uncover mechanisms underlying allergic ...

A buildup of a structural protein called F-actin inside aging brain cells appears to cripple the cellular waste-clearing machinery that keeps neurons healthy, according to a study in Drosophila fruit ...

When injured, cells have well-regulated responses to promote healing. These include a long-studied self-destruction process that cleans up dead and damaged cells as well as a more recently identified ...
