Life takes shape with the motion of a single cell. In response to signals from certain proteins and enzymes, a cell can start ...

In an advance for treating male infertility, researchers transplanted a patient with his own sperm-forming stem cells that ...

Cells constantly shift and transform, triggering the complex choreography that shapes living organisms. Whether dividing into new cells or sculpting an embryo, these tiny movements rely on chemical ...

Scientists were able to manipulate cells by changing the location of the light. With this technique, they were able to ...

"These cells co-develop together, just like they would in an actual embryo, and establish that history of being neighbors," ...

Researchers use light stimuli to shape cells and develop a model that explains the mechanisms – with implications for synthetic biology.

The ovary is the female gonad, which houses egg cells. Women are born with all the eggs they will ever have, and each egg is ...

Now, researchers at MIT have discovered a way to manipulate these early cellular motions using light, providing a new tool to ...

In response to signals from certain proteins and enzymes, a cell can start to move and shake, leading to contractions that cause it to squeeze, pinch, and eventually divide. As daughter cells follow ...
