It has long been understood that groups of cells can perform complex tasks, such as navigating mazes or strategically colonizing new habitats, even though individual biological cells have only limited ...

If you have ever wondered how much your body is actually capable of doing on its own, prepare to have your mind blown. Dr. Nathan Newman, one of the most respected voices in stem cell research and ...

Imagine watching an embryo form in real time, each cell dividing, moving, and finding its place. Today’s advanced microscopes can capture these frames—but turning them into accurate, usable maps of ...

Cell development, proliferation and death form a tightly interwoven continuum that underpins both normal physiology and disease. At its core, the orchestration of the cell cycle ensures that cells ...

Researchers from The University of Tokyo have found that single cells in collective chemotaxis act like agents in distributed reinforcement learning, utilizing the environment as an “external memory” ...

The Notch signaling pathway plays a pivotal role in determining cell fate, especially in the development and function of T cells. But mimicking this highly mechanical, contact-dependent pathway in the ...

Research into cell cycle regulation and size control in microorganisms has yielded a nuanced understanding of how these entities maintain homeostasis and synchronise growth with division. In both ...
