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 ...

Every multicellular organism, from tiny worms to humans, elephants, and whales, needs a way for their cells to connect with each other to form tissues, organs, and organize their overall body plan.

As a researcher, I still remember the discomfort I felt every time I had to sacrifice laboratory animals for an experiment.

AMES, Iowa – A decade ago, Raquel Espin Palazon discovered that inflammatory signaling pathways must switch on for embryos to produce blood stem cells. The latest work from her lab shows the potential ...

Scientists recorded 24 hours of the cellular construction process, revealing surprising new details about how plant cell ...

The Lee laboratory studies the mechanisms governing homeostatic turnover and reparative programs in stem cells, with a focus on elucidating how tissue perturbations lead to lung disease. We ...

Editor’s Note: This is part of a series called Inside the Lab, which gives audiences a first-hand look at the laboratories of researchers at the University of Chicago who are working to improve our ...

Prof. Jeremy Baskin, chemistry and chemical biology and a member of the Weill Institute for Cell and Molecular Biology, works with his multidisciplinary team of students to combat disease in a unique ...

The new €3.2M (US$3.7M) research lab will investigate immunogenic cell death mechanisms in lung cancer to improve how existing therapies trigger immune response.

Research collaboration: Laboratory of Trypanosome Cell Biology is a research collaboration whose article contributions are accrued to its participating partner institutions. Identify research insights ...

MDI Bio Lab scientists discovered how zebrafish solve a basic challenge in regenerative biology—insights in their newest publication in the journal Development could one day guide human repair.
