Gene expression reveals that different types of human cell can work as a unit. These cellular modules, found in several tissues, change during disease. However, suitable computational methods are ...

Scientists at ETH Zurich have broken new ground by generating over 400 types of nerve cells from stem cells in the lab, far surpassing previous efforts that produced only a few dozen. By ...

A new 3D human brain tissue platform developed by MIT researchers is the first to integrate all major brain cell types, including neurons, glial cells and the vasculature into a single culture. Grown ...

Researchers often struggle to select which cells to utilize in their research and when to employ them. Cell lines, dissociated tumor cells, and primary cells all have their place in research. While ...

Our brain is arguably the organ that most distinguishes humans from other primates. Its exceptional size, complexity and capabilities far exceed those of any other species on Earth. Yet humans share ...

Cell culture is a fundamental technique in biotechnology and life sciences that involves growing and maintaining living cells outside their natural environment, typically in a controlled laboratory ...

All living beings, big or small, are formed through the hard work of many different cells. To keep the body ready for any challenge, cells need to be dynamic. Often, this means the same types of ...
