Figure 1: A fluorescence image of an induced presomitic mesoderm (iPSM) tissue model, where cells expressing the Hes7 gene—a key regulator of somite formation—are labeled green. Purple cells express a ...

Multicellularity is one of the most profound phenomena in biology, and relies on the ability of a single cell to reorganize ...

Glycolysis is an ancient metabolic activity. It consists of a set of reactions that convert glucose into energy. This central process allows cells to grow, divide, and stay alive. It has accompanied ...

A new study led by Prof. Chen from the Department of Biomedical Engineering at New York University discovered the function of mechanical constraints in glioblastoma. This study explored the underlying ...

Cell division is an essential process for all life on earth, yet the exact mechanisms by which cells divide during early embryonic development have remained elusive – particularly for egg-laying ...

Understanding how cells differentiate during early embryonic development is crucial for advancing regenerative medicine and developmental biology. Pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) have been invaluable ...

New stem cell-based embryo model reveals previously unknown communication between early tissues that become the spine and muscles in the central part of the body. From the moment an embryo starts to ...

Researchers at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) and Imperial College London have shown for the first time that, before they can start developing into egg and sperm cells, the embryonic ...
