Researchers have developed a way to program human cells to perform calculations and make autonomous decisions, similar to how ...

In the earliest stages of life, mammalian embryos start as a disorganized cluster of cells. As development progresses, these cells become organized into well-defined shapes and structures. This ...

Biomedical engineers at Duke University have used induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to grow specialized blood vessel cells critical to retinal health for the first time. When injected into mouse ...

Engineers have developed a new way to monitor how tiny lab-grown human heart tissues beat—by effectively "listening" to the ...

Let’s begin with microbes A microbe is a very small, living organism that’s usually visible only under a microscope. Its name ...

The heart begins to age from the moment of birth. A new study using the largest cardiac gene map ever assembled has confirmed ...

BEIJING, June 15 (Xinhua) -- Chinese researchers have captured the first high-resolution footage of human embryos during their first five days of development, leading to a major discovery as to why so ...

Nearly 100 years ago, a seemingly simple discovery revolutionized the microscope. The introduction of phase contrast, which garnered a Nobel Prize in 1953, brought into clear view structures inside ...

Biohub and UC Berkeley show that the laser phase plate, a revolutionary device with a laser 100 million times brighter than the Sun, dramatically improves images obtained through cryo-electron ...

Human breast tissue imaged with SCOPE, a new device developed by Professor Raju Tomer and colleagues. The detailed 3D view of the milk-producing glands (called lobules) that are visible here is ...

A team led by Raju Tomer, professor of biological sciences at Columbia University, has created a new design for microscopes and microscope lenses that could push 3D tissue imaging beyond ...
