One of the most fundamental processes in all of biology is the spontaneous organization of cells into clusters that divide and eventually turn into shapes – be they organs, wings, or limbs. Scientists ...

The tissue in our body can only hold together if the cells adhere not only to each other, but also to extracellular structures, such as collagen fibres of the connective tissue and the skin. How ...

Non-neuronal brain cells called tanycytes illuminated and color coded according to their depth in the hypothalamus brain of a mouse. They are one of the cell types in the mouse brain that show a large ...

Cold water immersion for seven days significantly improves cellular resilience and autophagic function, helping cells manage stress better. This adaptation could enhance health and longevity, ...

Gene editing techniques may eventually allow trisomy to be treated at the cellular level, according to an in vitro proof-of-concept study. Down syndrome is caused by the presence of a third copy of ...

Scientists have identified the molecular changes that occur in the brains of aging mice and located a hot spot where much of that damage is centralized. The cells in the area are also connected with ...

Scientists at the Allen Institute have identified specific cell types in the brain of mice that undergo major changes as they ...
