In a landmark simulation, scientists have recreated the full cell cycle of a living cell in four dimensions — three dimensions plus time. Using a highly detailed digital model of a minimal synthetic ...

For years, biomolecular condensates were thought to be simple, liquid-like droplets with little internal organization. New ...

Researchers have developed a human intestinal cell model that closely mimics the structure and function of the human gut, enabling more precise prediction of drug-induced gastrointestinal toxicity ...

How do biological cells join forces to form a structure? In her Ph.D. research, Daphne Nesenberend uses mathematics to show ...

Identifying and delineating cell structures in microscopy images is crucial for understanding the complex processes of life. This task is called "segmentation" and it enables a range of applications, ...

Can the bend of a banana give us insight into cancer? What does the shape of a rice grain have to do with infertility? The ...

A cell model that replicates the structure and function of the human intestine has been developed, creating an evaluation platform capable of more accurately predicting adverse effects of new drugs.

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 ...

How does a single cell reliably build one of the most complex structures known in nature? New research suggests the answer may not depend solely on chemical signals, as long assumed.

The story of the cell cycle is often told only through the perspective of the chromosomes as they replicate and then divide. This resource beautifully illustrates the role of the cytoskeleton in that ...
