How different cells organize themselves, within a tissue, to support tissue functions remains poorly understood. Now, researchers have developed an AI-powered algorithm to help understand how cells ...

Scientists have uncovered a powerful genetic switch that helps some of the body’s most important immune cells grow up properly and keep our organs healthy. The switch, called MafB, guides immature ...

Christopher H. Contag explores how tissue regeneration involves organized interactions beyond just cell replacement, highlighting two emerging technologies ...

Discovered in the 1970s, circadian clocks are essential for the regulation of biological time in most cells in the human body. These internal mechanisms adjust biological processes to a 24-hour cycle, ...

Tissue engineering is an interdisciplinary field that combines principles from engineering, biology, and materials science to develop biological substitutes that restore, maintain, or improve tissue ...

As many as 40% of Americans are obese, putting them at an increased risk for high blood pressure, diabetes, stroke, heart disease and certain cancers, according to the CDC. New research from the ...

In good news for future animation figureheads, there might be a new way to revive frozen brains without damaging them. Scientists in China have developed a new chemical concoction that lets brain ...

Growing neurons rely on chemical cues to find their targets, but new research shows that the brain’s physical properties help ...

A team of researchers in Germany has frozen adult mouse brain tissue at cryogenic temperatures and, after thawing it, recorded electrical activity that closely resembled normal function. The work, ...
