A recent study suggests that memories aren’t just stored in the brain, raising important questions about cognition.

The scientific perspective behind cell pattern formation involves observing both the commonly seen principles behind similar cell patterns seen in nature and the visible events of self-organization.

Biologists and mathematicians have investigated how primordial germ cells behave in zebrafish embryos when not influenced by a guidance cue and developed software that merges 3D microscopy images of ...

Like so many organisms on the planet, when cells experience mosh-pit-level crowding, they may just become stressed. Yet unlike most other life forms, cells subject to physical stress from crowding by ...

Editor's note: Find the latest COVID-19 news and guidance in Medscape's Coronavirus Resource Center. The study covered in this summary was published on BioRxiv.org as a preprint and has not yet been ...

Sometimes, transporting electrons from one cell to another is a team effort. In electroactive bacteria, that team is a group ...

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 ...

Plant cells tend to grow longer instead of wider due to the alignment of the many layers of cellulose that make up their cell walls, according to a new study that may have implications for biofuels ...

Fan pattern A, so-called classical B-cell-rich nodular pattern: Clusters of single LP cells are embedded within enlarged follicles/nodules predominantly composed of small B-cells. Reactive T-cells are ...
