A genomic atlas of Nematostella vectensis reveals how primitive animals created multiple cell types millions of years ago, ...

One of the biggest quests in biology is understanding how every cell in an animal's body carries an identical genome yet still gives rise to a kaleidoscope of different cell types and tissues. A ...

In order to reprogram readily available cells into specific immune cells that fight various diseases, one must know the ...

Research led by the SickKids Research Institute in Toronto and the University of Pennsylvania, has found that immune-related ...

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 ...

Cells in the body have to move around in order to do their jobs. During development, for instance, cells are distributed to create and grow tissue. And in the event of an immune response, different ...

This color-coded graphic shows different populations of cells in the mouse brain, each one targeted by one of the genetic tools developed by scientists at the Allen Institute and other institutions.

New research reveals how a class of neurons that help coordinate communication in the brain link up with their target cells, ...
