For the roughly 3 million Americans living with inflammatory bowel disease, the current treatment options tell a frustrating ...

Every human cell is surrounded by a sugar coating known as the glycocalyx. It not only interacts with its environment but also reveals a great deal about cells' internal states. Scientists at the Max ...

Researchers at LMU have developed a human cell model that replicates key mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases—with potential for novel therapies. The paper is published in the journal Science ...

AI could "give the scientific community a way to address the most difficult and urgent questions in human health," argues Priscilla Chan.

Research and drug discovery are undergoing a transformation, driven by the rise of 3D cell culture models that better replicate human biology. Unlike traditional 2D cultures and animal models, which ...

“Hey model, if I prompt you with the marker genes for a cell type, can you complete the transcription factors that you believe would be highly expressed with expression of these genes?” posed ...

Researchers have developed a computer model to help scientists identify tumor-fighting immune cells in patients with lung cancer treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors. Researchers at the Johns ...

Scientists are exploring ways to mimic the origins of human life without two fundamental components: sperm and egg. They are coaxing clusters of stem cells – programmable cells that can transform into ...

A simulated cell in the early stages of division. Left half shows cytoplasm (blue cubes), mRNA degradation machinery molecules (pink), and sugar transporters (brown). Right half adds the membrane ...
