How different cells organize themselves, within a tissue, to support tissue functions remains poorly understood. Now, researchers have developed an AI-powered algorithm to help understand how cells ...

Growing neurons rely on chemical cues to find their targets, but new research shows that the brain’s physical properties help ...

A single genetic “switch” may be the secret to how the body’s cleanup crew grows up and keeps our organs running smoothly.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are tiny biological bubbles that carry nucleic acids and proteins between cells, playing an ...

Tissue engineering is an interdisciplinary field that combines principles from engineering, biology, and materials science to develop biological substitutes that restore, maintain, or improve tissue ...

Disrupted function of 'cleaning cells' in the body may help to explain why some people with obesity develop type 2 diabetes, while others do not. A study describes this newly discovered mechanism.

Never-before-seen 3D reconstructions of human liver tissue have been created at a cellular level. The details obtained by a team of UW Medicine and University of Washington engineers and physicians ...
