NASA's AVATAR study will send Emulate organ chips containing human cells on the Artemis II mission to study how deep space ...

Researchers discovered that epithelial cells use electricity to expel weak, energy-poor neighbors and maintain tissue health.

Our bodies and organs are shielded from the external environment by tissue barriers like the skin. These barriers must be tightly sealed to prevent unwanted substances from entering. This sealing is ...

The award will allow researchers to investigate how physical forces influence the way cells move, grow, divide and respond to their surroundings, particularly in the context of diseases like cancer.

Given the right conditions, certain types of cells are able to self-assemble into new lifeforms after the organism they were once part of has died. When you purchase through links on our site, we may ...

Immune responses rely on the efficient movement of immune cells within the complex and geometrically unpredictable three-dimensional tissues that make up our bodies. Recent research by the Sixt group ...

This is a top-down cross-section of one of the 3D hollow spheres (lumenoids) that our cells can create. The different colors are for different proteins, which allows you to see some striking ...

In developing hearts, cells shuffle around, bumping into each other to find their place, and the stakes are high: pairing with the wrong cell could mean the difference between a beating heart and one ...

Scientists in Japan have created hybrid plant-animal cells, essentially making animal cells that can gain energy from sunlight like plants. The breakthrough could have major benefits for growing ...
