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.

New York, NY — June 24 — Scientists have long known that, to form tissue structures and organs, stem cells migrate and differentiate in response to the other cells, matrix, and signals in their ...

Scientists mapping the human body at the cellular level keep running into the same surprise: beneath the apparent chaos of ...

As the body ages, organ function progressively declines and the risk for a wide range of diseases, including cardiovascular disease, cancer, and neurodegenerative diseases increases. Understanding how ...

A research group has revealed that the checkerboard-like arrangement of cells in the inner ear's organ of Corti is vital for hearing. The discovery gives a new insight into how hearing works from the ...

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 ...

Researchers have found that a deeper look at proteins and cells may help explain why prostate cancer tumors often become resistant to hormone therapy. Researchers found that looking at cell patterns ...

In developmental cell biology, the phrase “pattern formation” is used in reference to the propagation of complex organizations of cell fates in time and space. Pattern formation is mainly controlled ...
