Growing tissues can crack, break, and dissociate to form structures that can later withstand immense forces.

Scientists have uncovered a surprising new way that giant embryonic cells divide—without relying on the classic “purse-string” ring long thought essential for splitting a cell in two. Studying ...

Living human neurons were trained to play Doom, extending the long-running engineering benchmark into biological computing.

Advances in organ and computer models are raising the prospect that some animal experiments could be eliminated. But there ...

BrainAlignNet, AutoCellLabeler, and CellDiscoveryNet—to automatically track and identify neurons in moving worms and jellyfish.

Imagine an animal that can regrow its whole body — head, brain, organs, and all — from just a small fragment.

A study on worms led by researchers from Vanderbilt University School of Medicine in the US has uncovered a previously unknown adaptation to aging that actively remodels one of the largest and most ...

A cluster of lab-grown human brain cells has apparently made the leap to successfully playing a very rudimentary video game without the benefit of eyes, ears, or any kind of sensory input. It's a far ...

Microplastics and nanoplastics are increasingly recognized as pervasive environmental contaminants that accumulate in animals through food chains, posing risks to multiple organs. While growing ...

The Trade-off Between Physiological Authenticity and Experimental Convenience: Navigating the Cellular Foundation of ...

Creating a drug that might help treat or cure a health condition in humans is a long, complex process. After developing a ...
