A stem-cell-based "organ-on-a-chip" model of ALS mimics early biological changes seen in the degenerative disease.

A research group has developed a technology for mass-producing uniform artificial cells (lipid bilayer vesicles) with artificial model nuclei using microfluidic devices with high reproducibility. They ...

Researchers have developed a vascularized organoid model of hormone secreting cells in the pancreas. The advance promises to improve diabetes research and cell-based therapies.

Each model contains a layer of cells that is similar to the epiblast (which will form the embryo proper and, later, the fetus), and two of the models (a, c) contain cells that resemble the ...

An international team of researchers led by Max Delbrück Center Scientific Director Professor Maike Sander, MD, has for the first time developed an organoid model of human pluripotent stem cell ...

According to this model, place cells, along with grid cells found in the entorhinal cortex, ... Together, a population of grid cells forms a lattice of triangles representing a physical space.

Before bats could fly, they used hand-like limbs. Scientists now reveal how evolution transformed those hands into wings.

A computational model explains how place cells in the hippocampus can be recruited to form any kind of episodic memory, even when there's no spatial component. Nearly 50 years ago, neuroscientists ...

Scientists combined 120 of these cells in a precise ratio, mixed them in a shaker, and then watched to see what developed — and soon, an embryo-like structure formed spontaneously.

Unexpected findings have emerged about how and when certain infection-killing white blood cells decide to form memories about their encounters with a pathogen. These cells can turn themselves into ...
