Every multicellular organism, from tiny worms to humans, elephants, and whales, needs a way for their cells to connect with each other to form tissues, organs, and organize their overall body plan.

One of the holy grails of biology is digitally simulating a living cell. If researchers can use computers to more accurately understand how new medicines would react in the body, that could give them ...

One of the most enduring goals in regenerative medicine is deceptively simple: replace a person's damaged or dying cells with healthy new ones grown in the laboratory. Researchers at Harvard Medical ...

A vascularized organoid model of hormone-secreting cells in the pancreas has been developed, with potential to improve diabetes research and cell-based therapies. “Our results highlight the importance ...

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 ...

Billion dollar-backed AI drug developer, Xaira Therapeutics, has recently released the largest virtual cell model to-date to predict how cells respond to genetic perturbations in unseen biological ...

Yusuf Roohani, PhD, machine learning group lead at the Arc Institute, is among a team of researchers training artificial intelligence (AI) models with transcriptome data to predict how cell gene ...

There are more human cells in your body than there are stars in the Milky Way galaxy! Cells are the fundamental building blocks of life but that... Why scientists want to build a cell from scratch ...

Building synthetic versions of biological cells from the bottom up offers an unprecedented opportunity to understand the rules of life and harness cellular capabilities in biotechnology. Whereas ...

Scientists from six Asian countries have launched an ambitious 10-year effort to build synthetic cells from non-living molecules, marking the region's first coordinated push to create an artificial ...

Mitochondrial dynamics play a critical role in the development of aging-related diseases such as type 2 diabetes mellitus. To investigate how mitochondrial dynamics influence cellular behavior in ...
