Researchers have long faced a blunt limitation in biology. They could delete proteins or switch genes off, but they could not finely tune how much of a protein existed in specific tissues over an ...

Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics (MPI-CBG)Aug 9 2024 A key question that remains in biology and biophysics is how three-dimensional tissue shapes emerge during animal ...

A study reveals how seasonal brain shrinking helps some mammals survive winter, offering new insights into brain plasticity ...

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 ...

Researchers have developed a method to direct stem cells to form specific structures. By triggering the expression of specific genes in mouse embryonic stem cells, synthetic organizer cells were ...

During development, organisms can undergo a number of significant changes in form and behavior. So how does activity influence development? To learn more about that question, scientists studied the ...

Spatial maps of various tissues and organs in aging mice have revealed new insights into the aging process. Aging is a process common to many animals; however, the complexity of aging means that there ...

Researchers find that senescent cells promote the dedifferentiation of muscle tissue and enhance limb regeneration in salamanders, challenging our understanding of cellular senescence. Senescent cells ...
