A cluster of rat neurons, grown on a chip in a Japanese laboratory, just learned to generate a sine wave on command. Across ...

Before seedlings can photosynthesize, they depend on fatty acids—and on peroxisomes to process them. Researchers discovered ...

A cellular-resolution map of prenatal brain development in Down syndrome reveals disrupted neuron production timing and altered cell types.

The kinocilium of vestibular hair cells is a unique organelle with molecular features of primary and motile cilia and may serve as an active, force-generating element within the hair bundle.

The retina, the thin layer of tissue at the back of the eye, is made up of photoreceptor cells that convert visible light ...

Researchers at Hannover Medical School (MHH) have developed a method for the efficient production of human immune cells, such ...

The research group of prof. Sanjiv Luther at the department of immunobiology of the University of Lausanne has discovered ...

We can get silicon to "think" but the neuron can't be beat for efficiency. So, researchers worked to imitate it.

Researchers at LMU have developed a human cell model that replicates key mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases—with ...

A Utah biotech startup says it has grown functional human sperm in a lab and used it to create early embryos — a development ...

UCLA researchers created a single-cell map of the developing human neocortex in Down syndrome during a critical window of prenatal brain development, finding that the condition alters the ...
