Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have built a computer simulation that tracks the entire life cycle ...

Huntington's disease is a devastating brain disorder that slowly robs people of movement, memory, and personality. It is ...

How can a brain as sophisticated as ours arise from a single cell? This question, long at the heart of neuroscience research, ...

From tiny cells to vast cities, life persists by keeping chaos under control. The same thermodynamic forces that cause coffee ...

Our bodies perform many critical metabolic reactions, using a wide range of enzymes and other molecules. When there is a problem with one of these metabolism-related molecules because of a genetic ...

A new study proposes that brain cells may determine their position not just through chemical signals, but through lineage—staying close to their cellular relatives. Credit: Stock How does a single ...

When a cell divides, it performs a feat of microscopic choreography—duplicating its DNA and depositing it into two new cells. The spindle is the machinery behind that process: It latches onto ...

Abstract: Most vacuum electronic devices (VEDs) have cathode emission operating in a space-charge limited regime, indicating that the self-field of space charges limits the current density that can be ...

Most cells in the human body exist in complex three-dimensional environments, yet they are still commonly studied on flat plastic dishes. These two-dimensional cultures distort cell behavior, limiting ...
