A key question that remains in biology and biophysics is how three-dimensional tissue shapes emerge during animal development. Research teams have now found a mechanism by which tissues can be ...

Livestock breeders could soon have more tools to improve the health and quality of their animals, thanks to a recent study ...

Researchers have discovered that lysosomes, traditionally viewed as cellular waste bins, sense mechanical forces and ...

CD4+ T cells, or helper T cells, are one type of lymphocyte that helps coordinate the immune response against infection and disease. They interact and activate other cells in the immune system. The ...

Tissue optical clearing is a fundamental technique that enhances light penetration deep into biological samples by reducing light scattering through refractive index homogenization. This process ...

As a researcher, I still remember the discomfort I felt every time I had to sacrifice laboratory animals for an experiment.

3D surface of the fruit fly wing disc before (left) and after (right) eversion. Highlighted in blue is the pouch region, which transforms from a radially symmetric dome into a curved fold by ...
