A recent study has discovered the function of mechanical constraints in glioblastoma. This study led by Prof. Chen from the Department of Biomedical Engineering at New York University explored the ...

Senescent "zombie" cells are essential architects required to build and maintain the brain's protective barriers.

Embryonic morphogenesis encompasses the collective and individual cell behaviours that sculpt the early embryo into a structured body plan. Central to this process are coordinated cell migrations, ...

Scientists found that embryonic skin cells “whisper” through faint mechanical tugs, using the same force-sensing proteins that make our ears ultrasensitive. By syncing these micro-movements, the cells ...

New stem cell-based embryo model reveals previously unknown communication between early tissues that become the spine and muscles in the central part of the body. From the moment an embryo starts to ...

Most people have heard of stem cells. They are often described as “miracle” cells –ones that can grow into any other type of cell in our bodies, promising revolutionary medical treatments. However, ...

A research team showed that, contrary to current models, one early embryonic cell dominates lineages that will become the fetus. “They are not identical,” said Magdalena Zernicka-Goetz, a ...

A new study led by Prof. Chen from the Department of Biomedical Engineering at New York University discovered the function of mechanical constraints in glioblastoma. This study explored the underlying ...
