Over the past decade, researchers at RIKEN Center for Developmental Biology in Japan have generated complex tissues, including mouse retinas and Purkinje cells (a type of neuron) that integrated ...
A new computational method could dramatically accelerate efforts to map the body's cells in space, according to a study ...
The development of an embryo is one of the most fundamental processes in biology. Early in this process, it is determined ...
Until today, skin, brain, and all tissues of the human body were difficult to observe in detail with an optical microscope, since the contrast in the image was hindered by the high density of their ...
Embryonic germ layers are the fundamental organizing principle in animal development. They provide the structural basis from which tissues and organs arise. During early embryogenesis, cells divide to ...
In recent years, single-cell RNA sequencing has transformed our understanding of cellular heterogeneity within highly complex tissues and organs, revealing thus far undiscovered cell types and states ...
Immune responses rely on the efficient movement of immune cells within the complex and geometrically unpredictable three-dimensional tissues that make up our bodies. Recent research by the Sixt group ...
A project at the Italian Institute of Technology (IIT) has developed a method able to carry out simultaneous super-resolution imaging and optical sectioning in laser scanning microscopy. Described in ...
A novel technique for unmixing the signals from as many as 15 spatially overlapping fluorophores is allowing the identification and separation of spatially overlapping proteins in heterogenous ...
Our brain is a complex organ. Billions of nerve cells are wired in an intricate network, constantly processing signals, enabling us to recall memories or to move our bodies. Making sense of this ...
Metabolism serves as a direct reflection of biological functions and pathological conditions. Throughout the years, biologists and doctors have been delving into the intricate metabolic mechanisms ...
