Scientists mapping the human body at the cellular level keep running into the same surprise: beneath the apparent chaos of ...

Across cities and suburbs, a curious pattern keeps turning up in aerial photos and field surveys alike: trees that stand ...

A research group has revealed that the checkerboard-like arrangement of cells in the inner ear's organ of Corti is vital for hearing. The discovery gives a new insight into how hearing works from the ...

Stripe patterns are commonly seen in nature—for instance, birds and fish move in coordinated flocks and schools, fingerprints form unique designs, and zebras can be identified by their distinctive ...

As the body ages, organ function progressively declines and the risk for a wide range of diseases, including cardiovascular disease, cancer, and neurodegenerative diseases increases. Understanding how ...

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 ...

Scientists mapped where drugs bind inside the body, cell by cell, to better understand benefits and side effects.

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 ...

Research shows how the curved shape of a zebrafish egg sets cell division timing, gene activation, and early cell fate ...

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 ...
