In human cells, there are about 20,000 genes on a two-meter DNA strand—finely coiled up in a nucleus about 10 micrometers in ...

Researchers have developed a vascularized organoid model of hormone secreting cells in the pancreas. The advance promises to improve diabetes research and cell-based therapies. Researchers led by ...

The company is making a foray into scientific discovery with an AI built to help manufacture stem cells. When you think of AI’s contributions to science, you probably think of AlphaFold, the Google ...

New stem cell–based brain models from UCLA scientists show how a single epilepsy gene variant affects different brain regions ...

If Stephen Quake gets his way, biologists in the future will spend a lot less time wielding pipettes. “Our goal,” he says, “is to create computational tools so that cell biology goes from being 90% ...

Research and drug discovery are undergoing a transformation, driven by the rise of 3D cell culture models that better replicate human biology. Unlike traditional 2D cultures and animal models, which ...

Listen to more stories on the Noa app. The human cell is a miserable thing to study. Tens of trillions of them exist in the body, forming an enormous and intricate network that governs every disease ...

Researchers have developed a computer model to help scientists identify tumor-fighting immune cells in patients with lung cancer treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors. Researchers at the Johns ...

Bitter taste receptors are not only expressed in oral cavity cells but also in the gastrointestinal lining. To understand the diverse functions of these receptors, understanding the structure is ...

British biochemist Professor Frederick Sanger was awarded his second Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1980. He is only the third person to win Nobel Prizes for science in the history of he awards and ...

Chemists induced a cell-like behavior in molecular assemblies called vesicles. They used a sacrificial chemical fuel to make the vesicles divide into smaller versions of themselves. While this process ...
