Researchers at the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG), and at Harvard Medical School have used mathematical modeling to show how individual cells appear capable of learning, a behavior once deemed ...

The planarian is nobody's idea of a genius. A flatworm shaped like a comma, it can be found wriggling through the muck of lakes and ponds worldwide. Its pin-size head has a microscopic structure that ...

A new design for self-stabilizing, programmable cells While natural cells have evolved to use condensates as a built-in protective system for regulating gene circuit activity, this study is among the ...

Researchers have successfully developed a modular synthetic translational coupling element (SynTCE), significantly enhancing ...

Stem cells levitated with sound can spontaneously form spherical blobs. The technique could be used to grow tissues or simple miniature organs without researchers having to physically manipulate cells ...

A new study by physicists and neuroscientists from the University of Chicago, Harvard and Yale describes how connectivity among neurons comes about through general principles of networking and ...
