Our bodies are made up of countless cells, and each one is enclosed by a thin layer called the cell membrane. This membrane ...

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 ...

Receptor proteins, expressed on the cell surface or within the cell, bind to different signaling molecules, known as ligands, ...

In two new studies, scientists at Oregon Health & Science University have uncovered detailed blueprints of how certain ...

Taste receptors are specialized proteins that facilitate the sense of taste. There are different groups of receptors for ...

A powerful new method for creating embryo-like structures from stem cells that could transform how we study fertility.

Researchers build anthrobots from human airway cells that self-assemble, move, self-heal, and reverse aging markers, offering insights into synthetic life systems.

The earliest days after fertilization, once a sperm cell meets an egg, are shrouded in scientific mystery. The process of how a humble single cell becomes an organism fascinates scientists across ...

“Hey model, if I prompt you with the marker genes for a cell type, can you complete the transcription factors that you believe would be highly expressed with expression of these genes?” posed ...
