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

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 ...

Researchers from the University of Southern Denmark investigated how eight weeks of high-intensity interval training affect the structure of mitochondria – the parts of muscle cells that produce ...

Growing neurons rely on chemical cues to find their targets, but new research shows that the brain’s physical properties help ...

Intestine-Mimicking Cell Model Accurately Predicts Drug Toxicity KRIBBs hIEC model detects gastrointestinal toxicity with 94% accuracy, offering early prediction of drug side effects ...

Herpes simplex virus partially liquefies the tightly packed, gel-like interior of human cell nuclei to copy itself faster, a new study shows. The research centers on how the nucleus of each human cell ...

Researchers reveal that lack of sleep damages the myelin sheath in the brain and slows the rate of neural signal transmission ...

Most people know only two things about the appendix: You don’t need it – and if it bursts, you need surgery fast. That basic ...

A new study has uncovered how an exceptionally scarce protein can orchestrate the assembly of large‑scale gene-silencing structures inside cells, and what happens when that process breaks down.

A cube of healthy bone is anything but solid. Inside it, countless tiny channels carry fluid and help cells move, feed, and ...
