Forget playing Doom on a calculator. Now you can play it with a clump of brain cells--no brainstem necessary.

Researchers have developed a human intestinal cell model that closely mimics the structure and function of the human gut, enabling more precise prediction of drug-induced gastrointestinal toxicity ...

By simulating the life cycle of a minimal bacterial cell—from DNA replication to protein translation to metabolism and cell ...

Donut Lab's third independent VTT test confirms its solid-state battery retains 97.7% capacity after 240 hours idle. Energy density and cycle life remain untested.

Last November, the UK government announced a bold plan to phase out animal testing in some areas of research. Animal tests for skin irritation are scheduled for elimination this year, and some studies ...

Can the bend of a banana give us insight into cancer? What does the shape of a rice grain have to do with infertility? The ...

How do biological cells join forces to form a structure? In her Ph.D. research, Daphne Nesenberend uses mathematics to show ...

How does a single cell reliably build one of the most complex structures known in nature? New research suggests the answer ...

The origin of the nucleus remains hotly debated among scientists, but new imaging and genomic data are shedding light on this billion-year-old mystery.

A common type of error-correcting mechanism in biology is called kinetic proofreading. For example, if errors turn up when cells are making new DNA, enzymes can cut out incorrect nucleotides. They can ...

Neuroscientists propose a new theory of brain development where cells organize based on lineage rather than long-range signals.

Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory postdoc Stan Kerstjens and colleagues have devised a new theory for how the brain organizes ...
