The U.S. government, Meta, Google DeepMind, and other partners are combining nearly $1.8 billion in funding and existing ...

Scientists are using cell-free transcription and translation systems to synthesize proteins, design biology-based sensors and ...

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease in which motor neurons are gradually lost, leading to muscle weakness and, as the disease advances, difficulty breathing ...

Newswise — Mitochondria — tiny structures that convert nutrients into energy — are often depicted as discrete kidney bean-shaped objects. But in reality, they form a dynamic, interconnected network ...

Scientists discovered a population of cells that can start the process of programmed cell death, survive it, and then help rapidly rebuild damaged tissue. Their descendants become far more resistant ...

The biggest barrier to understanding the human brain is the human around it. Scientists can't exactly tinker around in someone's gray matter while that someone is still using it. Which means many ...

Using an advanced imaging technique to create high-fidelity 4D movies, UC San Diego researchers can now predict how mitochondria within human cells will respond to drug treatment. An AI model called ...

Human stem cell-based embryo models (hereafter referred to as embryo models) are a rapidly evolving field at the intersection of developmental biology and bioengineering. In this review, we examine ...

Neuroscientists have made a major advance in modeling the human brain in mice, offering a new way to study conditions like cerebral palsy. Ethicists ask if it changes how these mice should be treated.

Stanford Medicine scientists have chalked up a major advance in growing human brain cells outside of the human brain — and outside of laboratory glassware. In a study published online Sept. 16 in ...

Researchers at Stanford Medicine have developed two new artificial intelligence models of the biological cell. The first, called universal cell embedding, paved the way for a second-generation model ...
