For biologists, seeing is believing. But sometimes biologists have a hard time seeing. One particularly vexing challenge is ...

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have found that the motion of unlabeled cells can be used to tell whether they ...

Scientists have developed an innovative technique that combines expansion microscopy with mass spectrometry imaging to ...

Researchers have discovered a previously unknown type of connective tissue cells that surround cancer cells in pancreatic tumors. The newly discovered cells counteract tumor development and may ...

Scientists can build microfluidic systems in a Petri dish out of collagen, cells, and other proteins with structural ...

During morphogenesis—the process by which living organisms take shape—cells collectively position themselves in specific ways, leading to the development of tissues and organs. Being able to recreate ...

That’s where Yale’s new “magic carpet” comes in. Developed by Professor Yimin Luo and her team, this new system provides ...

A particularly important aspect of this field is imaging and sensing cells and tissue. This includes injecting fluorescent markers into a biological system to track cell dynamics and drug delivery.

Senescence is the process by which cells irreversibly stop dividing and enter a state of permanent growth arrest without undergoing cell death. Senescence can be induced by unrepaired DNA damage ...

An embryonic tissue can be broken apart into its constituent cells. Then, under appropriate conditions, the separated cells reassemble into a tissue similar to that from which they came ...
