In a landmark simulation, scientists have recreated the full cell cycle of a living cell in four dimensions — three dimensions plus time. Using a highly detailed digital model of a minimal synthetic ...

Every multicellular organism, from tiny worms to humans, elephants, and whales, needs a way for their cells to connect with each other to form tissues, organs, and organize their overall body plan.

How do biological cells join forces to form a structure? In her Ph.D. research, Daphne Nesenberend uses mathematics to show how forces and cooperation between cells create structure—and how ...

No one saw the blob takeover coming. In 2009 a team of biophysicists led by Anthony A. Hyman of the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics in Dresden, Germany, were studying ...

There are more human cells in your body than there are stars in the Milky Way galaxy! Cells are the fundamental building blocks of life but that... Why scientists want to build a cell from scratch ...

In the same way that ChatGPT understands human language, a new AI model developed by computational biologists captures the language of cells to accurately predict their activities. In the same way ...

Graham Johnson, a computational biologist and scientific illustrator at the Allen Institute for Cell Science, recalls fantasizing at a lunch table, more than 15 years ago, about a computer model of a ...
