Using mouse incisor models, researchers reveal how coordinated cell movements form crack-resistant enamel in teeth ...

New York, NY — June 24 — Scientists have long known that, to form tissue structures and organs, stem cells migrate and differentiate in response to the other cells, matrix, and signals in their ...

A research group has revealed that the checkerboard-like arrangement of cells in the inner ear's organ of Corti is vital for hearing. The discovery gives a new insight into how hearing works from the ...

Biologists and mathematicians have investigated how primordial germ cells behave in zebrafish embryos when not influenced by a guidance cue and developed software that merges 3D microscopy images of ...

Editor's note: Find the latest COVID-19 news and guidance in Medscape's Coronavirus Resource Center. The study covered in this summary was published on BioRxiv.org as a preprint and has not yet been ...

The scientific perspective behind cell pattern formation involves observing both the commonly seen principles behind similar cell patterns seen in nature and the visible events of self-organization.

Sometimes, transporting electrons from one cell to another is a team effort. In electroactive bacteria, that team is a group ...

How does a tiny cluster of cells become an embryo with a head, trunk, and tail? And how do thousands of genes coordinate this development? A new imaging method makes it possible to visualize the ...

Heparan sulphate occurs as carbohydrate chains which are very important for human body cells both for normal foetal development and during the course of various diseases. All new molecular knowledge ...

A multicellular system isn’t a system just because it has many cells. The cells must be of different types. Indeed, a great many different cell types are needed. To distinguish as many cell types as ...
