This article was originally featured on Knowable Magazine. More than 1.5 billion years ago, a momentous thing happened: Two small, primitive cells became one. Perhaps more than any event—barring the ...

The OpenFold Consortium, a leading nonprofit artificial intelligence (AI) research consortium, today announced a preview release of OpenFold3, an open-source deep learning model that predicts ...

A 3-D reconstruction of cells from the MICrONS data set shows the complexity of shapes and branching axons and dendrites in a mouse brain. Each cell is labeled with a different color. (MICrONS / Allen ...

Researchers say findings help to bridge the structure of the genome to its function in managing how genes are turned on and off.

The structure of the cell, and its components, have largely been explored through methods such as protein fluorescent imaging and protein biophysical association. Now, researchers have combined ...

A new AI model called Nicheformer restores spatial context to single-cell data, showing how cells organize within tissues. Developed by Helmholtz Munich and TUM, the model bridges single-cell and ...

Rochester Institute of Technology scientists have uncovered new information about the way coronavirus and several of its variants attach to human cells. A study recently published in the Journal of ...

In a scientific breakthrough that raises a number of medical and ethical issues, researchers have used stem cells to create living, growing models of a human embryo. Because stem cells were used, ...

Scientists have grown a human embryo-like structure in a lab which replicates very early human development - including the production of blood stem cells. The lab-grown embryo model could help ...
