One of the most widely accepted models for how cells remember their identity may be incorrect. This is shown in a new study ...

Scientists are exploring ways to mimic the origins of human life without two fundamental components: sperm and egg. They are coaxing clusters of stem cells – programmable cells that can transform into ...

Researchers have identified Nr1h2, a critical transcription factor essential for early embryo development. Their findings enhance our understanding of gene regulation during blastoid formation and ...

As 2025 comes to a close, the editors at The Scientist asked researchers to reflect on the biggest breakthroughs in cell biology this year. They named advances in everything from embryo models for ...

Partnership aims to accelerate precision immunotherapy by leveraging AI-powered virtual cell models to identify which patients are most likely to benefit from BOT/BAL treatment Collaboration builds on ...

Every multicellular organism, from tiny worms to humans, elephants, and whales, needs a way for their cells to connect with each other to form tissues, organs, and organize their overall body plan.

Researchers at the University of Waterloo have produced experimental evidence that quantum-level effects can alter the ...

Silvia Santos, Group Leader of the Quantitative Stem Cell Biology Laboratory at the Crick and senior author, said: "Early human development is still a black box due to ethical and technical ...

Effective models could unlock some of what is still unknown in biology and help your doctor find the right treatment. Jon covers artificial intelligence. He previously led CNET's home energy and ...
