Studying gene expression in a cancer patient's cells can help clinical biologists understand the cancer's origin and predict the success of different treatments. But cells are complex and contain many ...

Today, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI) and NVIDIA announced an expanded collaboration to accelerate life science research by driving development and adoption of virtual cell models through tools, ...

Studying the cell is a difficult and time-consuming process, but scientists have pinpointed generative AI as a potential way to make it easier. The idea is to develop an AI virtual cell that would ...

When a cell divides, it performs a feat of microscopic choreography—duplicating its DNA and depositing it into two new cells.

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% ...

Single-cell RNA sequencing has transformed biology by showing which genes are active in individual cells. However, this approach requires cells to be removed from their natural environment, erasing ...

A human cell is a Rube Goldberg machine like no other, full of biological chain reactions that make the difference between life and death. Understanding these delicate relationships and how they go ...

Scientists are exploring ways to mimic the origins of human life without two fundamental components: sperm and egg. They are coaxing clusters of stem cells – programmable cells that can transform into ...

A newly created cell model of the amniotic sac could reveal new insights into early pregnancy, as well as generate helpful products for medical use. When you purchase through links on our site, we may ...

Our body’s “blood factory” consists of specialized tissue made up of bone cells, blood vessels, nerves and other cell types. Now, researchers have succeeded for the first time in recreating this ...
