Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have built a computer simulation that tracks the entire life cycle ...

A human cell is a Rube Goldberg machine like no other, full of biological chain reactions that make the difference between life and death. Understanding these delicate relationships and how they go ...

In a landmark simulation, scientists have recreated the full cell cycle of a living cell in four dimensions — three ...

By simulating the life cycle of a minimal bacterial cell—from DNA replication to protein translation to metabolism and cell ...

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 ...

Hydrogel micromachines recreate the push and pull of living cells, helping scientists study how mechanical forces shape tissues in the lab.

If Stephen Quake gets his way, biologists in the future will spend a lot less time wielding pipettes. “Our goal,” he says, “is to create computational tools so that cell biology goes from being 90% ...

As described in research published today in Cell, the new model can be used to study the origin and function of the human amnion and help identify previously unknown ways the amniotic sac might ...
