Before seedlings can photosynthesize, they depend on fatty acids—and on peroxisomes to process them. Researchers discovered ...

Scientists have discovered how cells decide when to respond to physical forces, potentially opening new avenues for tackling ...

Southwest Research Institute demonstrated its single-use 3D bioreactor to produce induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (iPSCs), derived from adult skin, blood, and other somatic cells. Useful for ...

Bioengineering, the application of engineering design and analysis principles to biological systems, is an extensive field. With applications in immunotherapy, gene therapy and organ-on-a-chip models, ...

In tissue engineering, the tiniest bit of improper force can harm a living culture. Spheroids—3D clumps of cells—can be used ...

It was obvious to me that was where the growth was.” Growing and controling bone marrow stem cells (like shown here) outside ...

Just as the human body relies on organs such as the heart or liver for essential functions, cells depend on their own tiny ...

The cells in our bodies move in groups during biological processes such as wound healing and tissue development – but because of resistance, or viscosity, those cells can’t just neatly glide past each ...

Cells constantly communicate with each other via signaling pathways. Chemical signals come in like messages in a filled-up ...

Scientists have discovered how cells decide when to respond to physical forces, potentially opening new avenues for tackling diseases such as cancer and fibrosis.
