Researchers at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) have developed CarGAP, a chemo-optogenetic tool that uses vitamin B₁₂ and green light to precisely control gap junctions, the ...

Until now, conventional 3D cell cultures have often been either too rigid or too unstable to realistically reproduce the ...

New simulator and computational tools generate realistic ‘virtual tissues’ and map cell-to-cell ‘conversations’ from spatial transcriptomics data, potentially accelerating AI-driven discoveries in ...

A team led by HHMI Hanna Gray Fellow Shan Meltzer has created a detailed, cell-by-cell map of the spinal cord that offers a new framework for understanding chronic pain and provides a powerful new ...

How can a brain as sophisticated as ours arise from a single cell? This question, long at the heart of neuroscience research, is based on a fundamental principle: each neuron must position ...

A 3D rendering showing the internal structure of an animal cell, with several round or wavy structures inside a border. It turns out that the redox state of a cell, such as the animal cell shown, is ...

Researchers discovered that immune-related proteins form membrane-bound rings that help regulate cell death signals, ensuring ...
