A key question that remains in biology and biophysics is how three-dimensional tissue shapes emerge during animal development. Research teams have now found a mechanism by which tissues can be ...

A team of researchers has reported for the first time the live birth of a monkey that contains a high proportion of cells derived from a monkey stem cell line. This 'chimeric' monkey is composed of ...

Over the past decade, researchers at RIKEN Center for Developmental Biology in Japan have generated complex tissues, including mouse retinas and Purkinje cells (a type of neuron) that integrated ...

In a recent study published in Immunology, researchers investigated populations of regulatory T cells (Treg), a type of white blood cell, in various tissues. Study: The tissue-resident regulatory T ...

Cardiovascular researchers at UC Davis Health have developed a novel technique that allows scientists to study how the brain communicates with other organs, like the heart or gut. The new method ...

What's lurking in your freezer: a lasagna or deep-frozen pizza? Conservationists rely on freezers too—but they run much ...

The average adult male has around 36 trillion cells in their body, while average adult females have 28 trillion, researchers have found. Unexpectedly, the mass of small cells in our bodies, such as ...
