Scientists have uncovered a surprising new way that giant embryonic cells divide—without relying on the classic “purse-string” ring long thought essential for splitting a cell in two. Studying ...

In laboratory experiments, researchers have produced ear cartilage that remains form-stable in animal models. Only one ...

Crystalline polymers assembled inside tumor cell lysosomes rupture membranes, release iron, and trigger immune-activating ...

Northwestern researchers have shown that when it comes to cancer vaccines, arrangement can be just as important as ingredients. By repositioning a small fragment of an HPV protein on a DNA-based ...

The performance of rechargeable batteries is governed by processes deep within their components. A fundamental understanding of electrochemistry, structure–property–performance relationships and the ...

An artificial ear that feels just like the real thing: in laboratory experiments, researchers have produced ear cartilage ...

Engineers at Washington University in St. Louis have developed a new class of protein-based fibers modeled on the aligned ...

The Trade-off Between Physiological Authenticity and Experimental Convenience: Navigating the Cellular Foundation of ...

Ancient microbes tied to our earliest ancestors could use oxygen, reshaping ideas about how complex life began on Earth.

A new light-based imaging approach has produced an unprecedented chemical map of the Alzheimer’s brain. Rice University researchers have produced what they describe as the first full, label-free ...

Understanding how a healthy brain works can provide insight into how it fails, too. Scientists hope that studying organoids derived from humans with neurodevelopmental disorders — particularly ...

Neurites include axons, which are often severed during spinal cord injuries. When axons are cut, communication between neurons is disrupted, leading to paralysis and loss of sensation below the injury ...
