Our blood consists of many cell types that develop through different stages from a precursor type—the blood stem cell. An ...

In a groundbreaking study on the synthesis of cellulose—a major constituent of all plant cell walls—a team of Rutgers University-New Brunswick researchers have captured images of the microscopic ...

Researchers have found that some cells form new multicellular structures with functions that defy their original biological ...

Scaling up biohybrid robots has been difficult due to the weak contractile force of lab-grown muscles, the risk of necrosis in thick muscle tissues, and the challenge of integrating biological ...

Ten years ago, nobody knew that Asgard archaea even existed. In 2015, however, researchers examining deep-sea sediments ...

Our skin and mucous membranes are protected by epithelial cells. This 'barrier' tissue performs its function thanks to specialized structures called 'junctions'. They ensure cell cohesion and regulate ...

Scientists have found a way to study early embryonic development without real embryos. Using CRISPR, they programmed stem cells to self-organize into structures mimicking early embryos. The cells show ...

The debut of synthetic biological intelligence marks an unprecedented milestone in the fields of biotechnology and artificial intelligence (AI). Researchers ...

This man in his early 40s, who had no medical history, was referred to the burn clinic 20 days after being burned in a gasoline fire. Twelve days after the injury, he started to develop purulent ...

Recent work in The EMBO Journal describes a new hybrid post-translational modification of proteins, composed of a poly-ubiquitin chain that is attached to a target protein via a mono-ADP-ribose (MAR) ...
