Our bodies are made up of around 75 billion cells. But what function does each individual cell perform and how greatly do a healthy person's cells differ from those of someone with a disease? To draw ...

Researchers at the Centre for Genomic Regulation (CRG), and at Harvard Medical School have used mathematical modeling to show how individual cells appear capable of learning, a behavior once deemed ...

During early development, tissues and organs begin to form through the shifting, splitting, and growing of many thousands of cells. A team of researchers headed by MIT engineers has now developed a ...
