Organoids are three-dimensional miniature models of organs, grown in a dish. They have become a valuable tool for studying ...

Understanding how cells become fat cells is a crucial part of tackling conditions like obesity and type 2 diabetes – and a ...

Metabolic diseases such as obesity, fatty liver, and insulin resistance are rapidly increasing worldwide, but fundamental ...

For the first time, researchers have visualized in vivo the precise timing and location of active lignin deposition in developing pear cells. This allowed them to trace how isolated cells begin ...

Most cells in the human body exist in complex three-dimensional environments, yet they are still commonly studied on flat plastic dishes. These two-dimensional cultures distort cell behavior, limiting ...

Researchers have found a reliable way to grow helper T cells from stem cells, solving a major challenge in immune-based ...

In the past decade there has been significant interest in studying the expression of our genetic code down to the level of single cells, to identify the functions and activities of any cell through ...

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) cell–derived exosomes demonstrated the ability to alter healthy donor cell function and suppress normal blood cell formation. These particles affected monocytes, ...

Memories can form outside of the brain, according to new research. Non-brain cells exposed to chemical pulses similar to the ones that brain cells are exposed to when presented with new information ...
