By simulating the life cycle of a minimal bacterial cell—from DNA replication to protein translation to metabolism and cell ...

LaBonne is president of the Society for Developmental Biology and the Erastus Otis Haven professor of molecular biosciences at Northwestern University. Imagine a world without lifesaving medicines, ...

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 ...

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 ...

An interdisciplinary research team from two working groups at the Center for Synthetic Biology at TU Darmstadt has developed ...

Research and drug discovery are undergoing a transformation, driven by the rise of 3D cell culture models that better replicate human biology. Unlike traditional 2D cultures and animal models, which ...

3D cell models like spheroids and organoids are transforming the way we study complex biological processes—but they come with challenges. To meet this need, Sartorius has introduced the Incucyte ® CX3 ...

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 ...

In the same vein as weather forecast models that predict developing storms, researchers have now developed a method to predict the cell activity in tissues over time. The new software combines ...

Prior to using this narrative, have learners create their own model of a cell in their notebooks using whatever background information or experience they might have. While exploring the narrative, ...
