Studying the process of brain formation illuminates just how much of development is a series of tiny miracles. Only a few weeks after a human egg is fertilized, a sheet of cells called the neural ...

All cells need to sense and respond to their environment—to know when to activate genes, build proteins and carry out their basic functions. One of the most well-studied cellular responses is how they ...

Researchers have uncovered how different types of brain cells work together to form large-scale functional networks in the human brain -- interconnected systems that support everything from sensory ...

When immune cells strike, precision is everything. New research reveals how natural killer and T cells orchestrate the release of toxic granules—microscopic packages that destroy virus-infected or ...

Doctors and scientists have long relied on microscopes to study human tissue and diagnose disease. But today's medical research produces far more information than the human eye alone can handle, ...

The model, GREmLN (Gene Regulatory Embedding-based Large Neural model), is a milestone in CZI's grand challenge to build a family of AI biomodels that predict and understand how cells work at every ...

Cells in the body have to move around in order to do their jobs. During development, for instance, cells are distributed to create and grow tissue. And in the event of an immune response, different ...

What researchers know of human cells is pieced together like a scrapbook full of snapshots: division here, fertilization there, with maybe a bit of differentiation in between. While scientists know ...

Biologists have long treated the cell as a chemical factory, but a new wave of research is forcing a rethink of that familiar picture. Instead of just tiny bags of reacting molecules, our cells appear ...
