Descriptions of the embryo go back at least to the time of Aristotle, but it has only been since the late 19 th century and early 20 th century that advances in experimental approaches allowed ...

Yusuf Roohani, PhD, machine learning group lead at the Arc Institute, is among a team of researchers training artificial intelligence (AI) models with transcriptome data to predict how cell gene ...

The earliest days after fertilization, once a sperm cell meets an egg, are shrouded in scientific mystery. The process of how a humble single cell becomes an organism fascinates scientists across ...

Deep learning approaches have transformed how scientists predict the activity and function of DNA sequences in the genome. A ...

A buildup of a structural protein called F-actin inside aging brain cells appears to cripple the cellular waste-clearing machinery that keeps neurons healthy, according to a study in Drosophila fruit ...

Deep in our cells, a wide range of processes are occurring constantly. These cellular processes rely on enzymes to act as catalysts and set off a series of molecular interactions. There are still many ...

A group of Australian scientists has uncovered a new way to fight some of the toughest cancers by targeting an overlooked cellular process called minor splicing. This tiny but vital mechanism turns ...

A new study published in PLoS Biology has found that learning a new motor skill sets off two different types of cellular ...

Using mathematical analysis of patterns of human and animal cell behavior, scientists say they have developed a computer program that mimics the behavior of such cells in any part of the body. Led by ...

A simulated cell in the early stages of division. Left half shows cytoplasm (blue cubes), mRNA degradation machinery molecules (pink), and sugar transporters (brown). Right half adds the membrane ...
