The human brain is comprised of two main types of cells, known as neurons and glia. The first are responsible for ...

The mechanical properties of cells are known to be a label-free, inherent marker of biological function in health and disease. Wide-spread utilization has so far been impeded by the lack of a ...

By using a synthetic photosensitive amphiphile containing azobenzene (KAON12), we developed a method for the photo-manipulation of lipid membrane morphology, in which the shape of a vesicle can be ...

Herein, we designed and synthesized a novel anti-EpCAM (epithelial cell adhesion molecule)-monoclonal-antibody-labeled CSCs-targeting, noncytotoxic and pH-sensitive block copolymer vesicle as a ...

Thus, although no single cell culture system or animal model is ideal for studying all features of HBV hepatitis, researchers are developing imaginative and novel animal models that are designed ...

From single cells to complex creatures: New study points to origins of animal multicellularity Researchers at UChicago analyze genetic data and protein sequences to find key innovations that ...

Researchers have reported growing hearts containing human cells in pig embryos for the first time. The embryos survived for 21 days, and in that time their tiny hearts started beating.
