Fruit flies, mice, zebrafish, yeast and the tiny worm C. elegans are model organisms that have carried modern biology on ...

A research team led by Associate Professor Shinpei Yamaguchi and the late Professor Masako Tada of the Faculty of Science, together with Professor Yojiro Anzai and Lecturer Yohei Iizaka of the Faculty ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising new way that giant embryonic cells divide—without relying on the classic “purse-string” ring long thought essential for splitting a cell in two. Studying ...

Studying gene expression in a cancer patient's cells can help clinical biologists understand the cancer's origin and predict the success of different treatments. But cells are complex and contain many ...

Organoids have transformed biomedical research by giving scientists miniature versions of human organs to study in the lab.

According to Tang, this independence suggests that each biomarker provides unique prognostic information, making both valuable for understanding patient outcomes. Building on these findings, the ...

Pasca Lab specializes in growing three-dimensional organoid models from reprogrammed stem cells, which capture molecular changes during fetal brain-like development. Because the human brain cannot be ...

Antibody therapies are changing the treatment of cancer, inflammatory diseases and infections. However, many promising drug ...

Researchers at UChicago have developed a nanoparticle system that can effectively deliver mRNA to insulin-producing cells, protecting them from the body’s autoimmune response ...

Researchers from The University of Osaka have developed a mouse model for achondroplasia. The model identified the importance ...

One way cancer specialists detect the disease is by examining cells and bodily fluids under a microscope, a time-consuming ...
