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% ...

New research reveals how cell sizes and clumping create sharp animal coat patterns, enhancing our understanding of nature's ...

Using sophisticated RNA sequencing technology, biomedical researchers can measure the activity of our genes across millions ...

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 ...

For that, there’s a room at the far end of her lab — the bioprinting room — where she works with a team to create 3D printed vessels that the cells can be printed into. Bioprinting allows Kaw to study ...

Chemists induced a cell-like behavior in molecular assemblies called vesicles. They used a sacrificial chemical fuel to make the vesicles divide into smaller versions of themselves. While this process ...

As chronic liver disease becomes more widespread, researchers at Science Tokyo have developed a lab-grown organoid that replicates a regenerating liver, offering new hope for future treatments. The ...

The lab-made 3D liver model serves as a human relevant platform for analyzing the progressive stages of the liver disease, ...
