Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have built a computer simulation that tracks the entire life cycle ...

A simulated cell in the early stages of division. Left half shows membrane (green cubes), and ribosomes (yellow/purple) ...

How do we think, feel, remember, or move? These processes involve synaptic transmission, in which chemical signals are transmitted between nerve cells using molecular containers called vesicles. Now, ...

Professor Yang Cao of Virginia Tech's computer science department has been awarded $550,000 from the National Science Foundation. His research will develop computer simulations to help understand the ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute have developed a new stem cell model of the mature human amniotic sac, which replicates development of the tissues supporting the embryo from two to four ...

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 ...

A metabolic enzyme also binds and unwinds RNA to promote translation of cell cycle genes. This dual role links energy status to cell division, revealing a molecular switch that controls growth, and ...
