When cells are subjected to physical stress from crowding by their neighbors, they can slow their own growth, forming ...

It is one of the most fundamental questions in science: how can lifeless molecules come together to form a living cell? Bert ...

An embryo consists of cells. These cells divide to make new cells, allowing the embryo to grow. The cells experience ...

As cells grow and divide, they can experience stress from pushing against other cells. Through simulations and modeling of ...

A team has made a groundbreaking discovery in the field of aging and inflammation. Japan's aging population is growing at an unprecedented rate, making it crucial to extend healthy lifespans rather ...

There is variability in when and how cells divide during the development of embryos. While researchers traditionally believed this variability was an obstacle that needed to be regulated, the Hiiragi ...

Crowded cells form concentric circles by slowing growth, a study finds. Scott Weady's team's models could help manage harmful ...

Researchers from the University of Freiburg have identified the HAN molecule as an important regulator that controls plant ...

Though they live only a few hours before dividing, bacteria can anticipate the approach of cold weather and prepare for it.

A recent study has revealed that chloride flow through channels on the surface of tumor cell lines plays a crucial role in ...

At the end of the 4-cell stage, embryos divide to the 8-cell stage, forming many different shapes and high variability between embryos. Then, cells increase their surface tension which brings ...
