Researchers succeeded in creating cells whose proliferation can be controlled. The technique enables new and safe cell therapies. Cell therapies could help in the treatment of hereditary diseases, ...

A remarkably small bacterium containing fewer than 500 genes serves as the basis for one of the most detailed digital life reconstructions ever created. Using computer technology, scientists have ...

Studying the cell is a difficult and time-consuming process, but scientists have pinpointed generative AI as a potential way to make it easier. The idea is to develop an AI virtual cell that would ...

As regular readers of Unix Insider probably know, Peter Galvin has abdicated as Unix Insider‘s security czar to start a new system administration column for this magazine. Following Peter’s lead, this ...

In a groundbreaking discovery, scientists uncovered the first known structure in complex cells that's capable of drawing nitrogen from the atmosphere and converting it into a form that the cell can ...

Cells constantly shift and transform, triggering the complex choreography that shapes living organisms. Whether dividing into new cells or sculpting an embryo, these tiny movements rely on chemical ...

THIS IS THE FUTURE. THIS UC DAVIS LAB HAS BECOME BRIAN HICKEY GEA’S HOME AWAY FROM HOME. EVERY SINGLE PIECE OF RESEARCH ESSENTIALLY IS DONE IN THIS ROOM. HE’S HERE ALMOST EVERY DAY. SO I’M A SECOND ...

Stem cells hold a tremendous amount of research promise. At one time, obtaining them seemed to be a nearly insurmountable challenge, until a process was invented by Gladstone Senior Investigator ...

It is one of the most fundamental questions in science: how can lifeless molecules come together to form a living cell? Bert Poolman, Professor of Biochemistry at the University of Groningen, has been ...

The results could shed light on why the animals rarely get cancer. But the researchers’ ultimate goal of bringing back woolly mammoths is still aspirational. By Carl Zimmer When the biotechnology firm ...

Treated human stem cells transplanted into a laboratory animal. The cells have differentiated to produce proteins occurring in human pancreatic cells. Colours: pink for insulin, yellow for glucagon, ...
