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 ...

In a breakthrough with promising real-world applications, a team of Rutgers biophysicists, bioengineers, and plant biologists ...

Physicists from the Universities of Bayreuth and Grenoble have discovered a new mechanism of cell mobility. Their findings ...

regulatory T cells, commonly known as Tregs. These soldiers of the immune system play a dynamic role in the form of white fat known interchangeably as visceral fat—visceral adipose tissue ...

Manufactured objects — plastic bottles, ballpoint pens, concrete buildings, teabags, wind turbines, cell phones, T-shirts, aluminum cans — outweigh the living world and will form distinctive ...

Those cancers begin in other types of tissue, such as: Basal cell carcinoma. This is the most common form of all cancers. It occurs in cells lining the deepest part of the skin's outer layer.

Then, in the developing embryo, cells form three primary layers — ectoderm, mesoderm and endoderm — which, over time, become skin, neurons, heart, gut, and so on. These determinations of cells’ fates ...

"I have always been fascinated by plants and how they capture sunlight via leaves into reduced carbon forms like cellulose that form cell walls," Chundawat said, who plans to explore new ways to ...

"They appear to form the skeleton for the complex cell architecture of Asgard archaea," adds Florian Wollweber. In addition to actin filaments, eukaryotes also possess microtubules. These tube ...

Enter the morbid yet fascinating world of postmortem biology. Researchers have found that some cells form new multicellular structures with functions that defy their original biological roles even ...
