The researchers let the cell clusters assemble in the right proportions and then used micro-manipulation tools to move or eliminate cells—essentially poking and carving them into shapes like those ...

Billions of years of evolution have made modern cells incredibly complex. Inside cells are small compartments called organelles that perform specific functions essential for the cell’s survival and ...

New research reveals how cell sizes and clumping create sharp animal coat patterns, enhancing our understanding of nature's ...

Proteins are often called the building blocks of cells, but even those building blocks need to be built. One of the most ...

People who know Naledi are perpetually aware of two things: he is a talented visual artist, and he has seen copious amounts of anime. The last two weeks of August were abuzz with the fresh release of ...

A zebrafish with melanocytes labeled with green fluorescent protein (GFP) (top left); magnified view of GFP-labeled melanocytes (bottom left); human stem cell-derived melanocytes growing in a dish ...

Embryonic cells can self-assemble into new living forms that don’t resemble the bodies they usually generate, challenging old ideas of what defines an organism. The researchers let the cell clusters ...
