A newly identified virus–cell hybrid structure allows viruses to spread faster and more aggressively by hitching a ride on ...

During early development, tissues and organs begin to bloom through the shifting, splitting, and growing of many thousands of ...

From the moment an embryo starts to take shape, two-way communication is critical for making sure tissues and organs develop ...

Researchers suggest that MultiCell could potentially be used to discern early patterns of disease, such as in asthma.

Scientists are exploring ways to mimic the origins of human life without two fundamental components: sperm and egg. They are coaxing clusters of stem cells – programmable cells that can transform into ...

The inaugural competition surprisingly awarded two $100,000 grand prizes to address challenges in defining robust benchmarks for complex biology.

Recently, researchers have been working on using 3D embryo structures called “hematoids,” which are similar to embryos. These ...

Researchers recently developed a bone marrow model to study how the body generates cells. Interestingly, this model is the first of its kind to be developed entirely from human cells. Not only can ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have developed a new stem cell model of the mature human amniotic sac, which replicates development of the tissues supporting the embryo from two to four ...

Prior to using this narrative, have learners create their own model of a cell in their notebooks using whatever background information or experience they might have. While exploring the narrative, ...
