A set of new imaging tools now allows researchers to see how specific fat molecules, called phospholipids, are distributed ...

Andrea Vernengo researches the messages cells send and receive through hydrogels. Her lab studies wound healing and cancer, ...

Metastasis, the spread of cancer from a primary tumor to other parts of the body, is difficult to study in the lab, in part ...

In conventional pathology and physiology research, two-dimensional (2D) analysis—observing thinly sliced tissue sections—has ...

3D cell cultures are no longer a futuristic idea. They’re already reshaping how we study diseases like cancer, offering more realistic models of how cells behave in the body. But despite their ...

Developing chemotherapy drugs against breast cancer is costly, slow, and often inefficient, with more than 95% of screened drug candidates failing in patient trials. A groundbreaking technique for 3D ...

Before cells can divide by mitosis, they first need to replicate all of their chromosomes, so that each of the daughter cells can receive a full set of genetic material. Scientists have until now ...

Hypertrophic scarring affects a large proportion of patients following burns, trauma, or surgery and arises from prolonged fibroblast hyperactivity and excessive extracellular matrix accumulation.

Researchers translated experimental data into Minecraft files to recreate 3D images in a more accessible setting. My group studies the minimum requirements for cells to live. As part of one project, ...
