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 ...

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

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 ...

A Deep Dive into Dividing Cells Weady’s group is interested in biophysical modeling — or, as he puts it, how small-scale rules govern large-scale behaviors. In this case, his team wanted to ...

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

Inside every cell, a network of tiny filaments, called the microtubule cytoskeleton, helps maintain the cell's shape, allows ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...
