A study published today in the journal Developmental Cell uncovers new insights into how the heart forms during the earliest stages of embryonic development.

Imagine cells navigating through a complex maze, guided by chemical signals and the physical landscape of their environment.

The liver has a unique structure, especially at the level of individual cells. Hepatocytes, the main liver cells, release ...

Carnegie Mellon University researchers are using personalized models to decode how cancer behaves in individual ...

How do we think, feel, remember, or move? These processes involve synaptic transmission, in which chemical signals are ...

Sterols are among the most abundant lipids in eukaryotic cells, yet are synthesized through notoriously long, complex metabolic pathways. Researchers have used a novel approach to show how they ...

However, once the average gene length reaches 1,500 nucleotides, the proteins decouple from the multiplicative process of gene growth, and the average protein length stabilizes after the onset of the ...

Eukaryotic cells form the foundation of complex ... that the origins of eukaryotic complexity may be more nuanced than the traditional endosymbiotic model alone can explain. Some prokaryotes, such as ...
