When a cell divides, it performs a feat of microscopic choreography—duplicating its DNA and depositing it into two new cells.

Typically, bone marrow research relies heavily on animal models and oversimplified cell cultures in the laboratory. Now, researchers from the Department of Biomedicine at the University of Basel and ...

Researchers recently developed a bone marrow model to study how the body generates cells. Interestingly, this model is the first of its kind to be developed entirely from human cells. Not only can ...

Studying the cell is a difficult and time-consuming process, but scientists have pinpointed generative AI as a potential way to make it easier. The idea is to develop an AI virtual cell that would ...

Most potential oncology drugs fail during the drug development pipeline, even when there has been promising data for their efficacy during the in vitro stage. This makes it vital to identify in vitro ...

Every cell in a body contains the same genetic sequence, yet each cell expresses only a subset of those genes. These cell-specific gene expression patterns, which ensure that a brain cell is different ...

The human cell is a miserable thing to study. Tens of trillions of them exist in the body, forming an enormous and intricate network that governs every disease and metabolic process. Each cell in that ...

Research and drug discovery are undergoing a transformation, driven by the rise of 3D cell culture models that better replicate human biology. Unlike traditional 2D cultures and animal models, which ...
