The spatial organization of the cells that form a tissue is also central to the tissue's function and survival. This organization depends in part on polarity, or the orientation of particular ...

New visualization methods have also revealed cellular dynamics. This has raised complex issues about the organization principles that underlie the emergence of coherent dynamical cell shapes and ...

This organization can be explained by weak interactions ... during mitosis to protect the genetic information before cell ...

The earliest days after fertilization, once a sperm cell meets an egg, are shrouded in scientific mystery. The process of how ...

Mitochondria are the powerhouses in our cells, producing the energy for all vital processes. Using cryo-electron tomography, researchers have now gained insight into the architecture of mitochondria ...

The cells in human bodies are subject to both chemical and mechanical forces. But until recently, scientists have not ...

Our skin and mucous membranes are protected by epithelial cells. This 'barrier' tissue performs its function thanks to specialized structures called 'junctions'. They ensure cell cohesion and regulate ...

Researchers use light stimuli to shape cells and develop a model that explains the mechanisms – with implications for synthetic biology.

These RNAs serve as instructions that guide cell organization and movement, as well as direct different cells to become particular cell types (e.g. brain, skin). My research interests lie in ...

Joint venture is expected to leverage Astellas' expertise in cell therapy R&D and Yaskawa’s robotics technology to enhance accuracy, reproducibility, and efficiency in cell manufacturing. Astellas ...
