A vascularized organoid model of hormone-secreting cells in the pancreas has been developed, with potential to improve diabetes research and cell-based therapies. “Our results highlight the importance ...

For the first time, a breathing lung model has been made using cells from only one person. Announced on January 1, the ...

One of the holy grails of biology is digitally simulating a living cell. If researchers can use computers to more accurately understand how new medicines would react in the body, that could give them ...

The competition, hosted by Arc Institute at virtualcellchallenge.org and sponsored by NVIDIA, 10x Genomics, and Ultima Genomics, is focused on accelerating progress in AI modeling of biology. For the ...

Yusuf Roohani, PhD, machine learning group lead at the Arc Institute, is among a team of researchers training artificial intelligence (AI) models with transcriptome data to predict how cell gene ...

Our body’s “blood factory” consists of specialized tissue made up of bone cells, blood vessels, nerves and other cell types. Now, researchers have succeeded for the first time in recreating this ...

A human cell is a Rube Goldberg machine like no other, full of biological chain reactions that make the difference between life and death. Understanding these delicate relationships and how they go ...

Drug discovery requires experimental systems that more accurately capture the complexity of human tissues. However, animal models and conventional cell culture approaches often lack the physiological ...

Plant cells are surrounded by an intricately structured protective coat called the cell wall. It’s built of cellulose microfibrils intertwined with polysaccharides like hemicellulose or pectin. We ...

For the first time, high-resolution time-lapse videos of tiny bits of living plants show how they assemble their protective cell walls, researchers report March 21 in Science Advances. The image ...
