Researchers at LMU have developed a human cell model that replicates key mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases—with potential for novel therapies. The paper is published in the journal Science ...

Researchers have developed a computer model to help scientists identify tumor-fighting immune cells in patients with lung cancer treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors. Researchers at the Johns ...

Research and drug discovery are undergoing a transformation, driven by the rise of 3D cell culture models that better replicate human biology. Unlike traditional 2D cultures and animal models, which ...

Like schools of fish and flocks of birds, our cells can also migrate collectively in coordination with their neighbors. This ...

Our body’s “blood factory” consists of specialized tissue made up of bone cells, blood vessels, nerves and other cell types. Now, researchers have succeeded for the first time in recreating this ...

Scientists invented a pocket-sized model of the most common form of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The "disease-on-a-chip," made using stem cells, could pave the way for new treatments for the ...

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 human cell is a miserable thing to study. Tens of trillions of them exist in the body, forming an enormous and intricate network that governs every disease and metabolic process. Each cell in that ...

A simulated cell in the early stages of division. Left half shows cytoplasm (blue cubes), mRNA degradation machinery molecules (pink), and sugar transporters (brown). Right half adds the membrane ...
