The new multi-organ chip has the size of a glass microscope slide and allows the culture of up to four human engineered tissues, whose location…
After episodes of sleep deprivation, eye problems such as dryness and itching are common. Long-term sleep deprivation can increased the risk for eye disease. Sleep…
Cell nucleus illustration. University of California Riverside-led study identifies how blood stem cells maintain their fate. Understanding the molecular mechanisms that specify and maintain the…
MIT biology professor Yukiko Yamashita has spent much of her career exploring how asymmetrical cell divisions occur. This type of cell division allows cells to…
Human blood stem cells emerging from specialized endothelial cells in the wall of an embryonic aorta. UCLA scientists’ confirmation of this process clarifies a longstanding…
Findings could lead to targeted approach for treating aging. Research from the Babraham Institute has developed a method to ‘time jump’ human skin cells by…

Researchers in Japan have generated a kidney-like 3D tissue, consisting of extensively branched tubules, from cultured mouse embryonic stem cells. Credit: Dr. Shunsuke Tanigawa A…
Confocal microscopy image of an adult zebrafish head with neural crest-derived cells in red. The Crump lab has used single-cell sequencing to understand how these…
UNIGE Scientists have discovered how the absence of a genetic switch can lead to malformations during embryonic development. Embryonic development follows delicate stages: for everything…

Mini-brain organoids showing cortex-like structures. Credit: Andras Lakatos/University of Cambridge Cambridge researchers have developed ‘mini brains’ that allow them to study a fatal and untreatable…
A lizard species known as a mourning gecko can regenerate its tail, but the replacement is an imperfect copy of the original. Credit: USC/Lozito Lab…
Visualization of local damage in skeletal muscle fibers (soleous and gastro) of young mice after exercise, by staining with local damage markers such as Filamina…
Our DNADNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is a molecule composed of two long strands of nucleotides that coil around each other to form a double helix.…
