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 ...

Researchers have long faced a blunt limitation in biology. They could delete proteins or switch genes off, but they could not finely tune how much of a protein existed in specific tissues over an ...

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 ...

Researchers have developed a method to direct stem cells to form specific structures. By triggering the expression of specific genes in mouse embryonic stem cells, synthetic organizer cells were ...

The last day the Future in Review conference focused on big societal issues, rather than the usual techno-centric topics. During a panel on the future of nano-biotechnology, Alan Russell, head of ...

The complex 3D shapes of brains, lungs, eyes, hands, and other vital bodily structures emerge from the way in which flat 2D sheets of cells fold during embryonic development. Now, researchers at ...

This kit was created to aid with the extraction of high-quality and yield RNA from fatty tissues such as the brain, breast, adipose tissues, etc. However, tissues with a high fat content, such as the ...

Every day, your body replaces billions of cells – and yet, your tissues stay perfectly organized. How is that possible? A team of researchers at ChristianaCare’s Helen F. Graham Cancer Center & ...

Spatial maps of various tissues and organs in aging mice have revealed new insights into the aging process. Aging is a process common to many animals; however, the complexity of aging means that there ...

Placozoa are among the simplest animals in the world. They were initially discovered living on the walls of aquariums in a European laboratory in the 1880s, and are thought to live naturally ...
