Scientists have fabricated micrometer-scale microstructures that can move, bend, and cluster without any onboard sensors, ...

Cell cultures—single layers of cells grown in a small dish—have enabled researchers to study biological growth, develop or ...

Tick-borne encephalitis virus, known as TBEV, hijacks the internal membrane machinery of host cells to build hidden factories ...

Researchers in Nikolaus Rajewsky's lab at Max Delbrück Center combined high-resolution, single-cell spatial technologies to map a tumor's cellular neighborhoods in 3D and identify potential targets ...

3D cell cultures are no longer a futuristic idea. They’re already reshaping how we study diseases like cancer, offering more realistic models of how cells behave in the body. But despite their ...

Before cells can divide by mitosis, they first need to replicate all of their chromosomes, so that each of the daughter cells can receive a full set of genetic material. Scientists have until now ...

In conventional pathology and physiology research, two-dimensional (2D) analysis—observing thinly sliced tissue sections—has been mainstream, making it difficult to comprehensively understand the ...

Researchers translated experimental data into Minecraft files to recreate 3D images in a more accessible setting. My group studies the minimum requirements for cells to live. As part of one project, ...

File this under unexpectedly cool: organs you don’t harvest, but instead print using an honest-to-goodness printer, just as you might words on paper, except in this case, the “words” are actual stem ...
