Researchers have found that a deeper look at proteins and cells may help explain why prostate cancer tumors often become resistant to hormone therapy. Researchers found that looking at cell patterns ...

Sometimes, transporting electrons from one cell to another is a team effort. In electroactive bacteria, that team is a group ...

Biologists and mathematicians have investigated how primordial germ cells behave in zebrafish embryos when not influenced by a guidance cue and developed software that merges 3D microscopy images of ...

The scientific perspective behind cell pattern formation involves observing both the commonly seen principles behind similar cell patterns seen in nature and the visible events of self-organization.

Editor's note: Find the latest COVID-19 news and guidance in Medscape's Coronavirus Resource Center. The study covered in this summary was published on BioRxiv.org as a preprint and has not yet been ...

Cell-cell adhesion-induced patterning in keratinocytes can be explained by just starvation and strong adhesion, Hokkaido University researchers find. Fingerprints are one of the best-recognised ...

A multicellular system isn’t a system just because it has many cells. The cells must be of different types. Indeed, a great many different cell types are needed. To distinguish as many cell types as ...

Plant cells tend to grow longer instead of wider due to the alignment of the many layers of cellulose that make up their cell walls, according to a new study that may have implications for biofuels ...
