A newly created cell model of the amniotic sac could reveal new insights into early pregnancy, as well as generate helpful products for medical use. Researchers have developed a new laboratory model ...

Some of the body's cells stay put for life, while others are free to roam. To move, these migratory cells rely on filopodia—sensitive, finger-like protrusions that reach out from the cell membrane ...

Cells are typically studied outside the body under controlled laboratory conditions. However, conventional flat cell culture ...
