A key question that remains in biology and biophysics is how three-dimensional tissue shapes emerge during animal development. Research teams have now found a mechanism by which tissues can be ...

A team in Germany has shown that mouse brain tissue can regain measurable signs of activity after being preserved in a ...

Scientists in Japan have created hybrid plant-animal cells, essentially making animal cells that can gain energy from sunlight like plants. The breakthrough could have major benefits for growing ...

Researchers have discovered that lysosomes, traditionally viewed as cellular waste bins, sense mechanical forces and reposition themselves to the cell's edge to trigger the formation of leader cells ...

Livestock breeders could soon have more tools to improve the health and quality of their animals, thanks to a recent study ...

Tissue optical clearing is a fundamental technique that enhances light penetration deep into biological samples by reducing light scattering through refractive index homogenization. This process ...

3D surface of the fruit fly wing disc before (left) and after (right) eversion. Highlighted in blue is the pouch region, which transforms from a radially symmetric dome into a curved fold by ...
