A new study has revealed how two morphogens, WNT and Sonic Hedgehog, act as molecular "traffic cops," directing early human ...

Researchers revealed that mitosis doesn’t always feature cell rounding (when a parent cell becomes spherical), meaning that ...

New research reveals that cells don't always become round before dividing, challenging over a century of textbook biology.

“During tissue formation, dynamic cell shape changes drive morphogenesis while asymmetric divisions create cellular diversity ...

This explainer outlines how neurons and glial cells coordinate electrical and chemical signals to form complex brain networks that govern thought, behavior, and consciousness. It also explores how ...

Contrary to what textbooks have claimed for over a century, cell division does not always follow the same pattern.

Would isomorphism in zebrafish translate to human cells? To find out, the researchers used micropatterning, which involves placing cells on patches of proteins in different shapes. Shapes were ...

For the first time, scientists have mapped the 3D structure of the human sweet taste receptor, offering critical insights ...

Scientists at Columbia University have just mapped the exact molecular structure that makes us love sugar and artificial ...

But they also interact with the human nervous system. Microbes can produce compounds that affect the way neurons work. They ...
