The UNC School of Medicine recently announced its new Masters of Science in Cell Biology and Physiology, with the program's first cohort set to begin coursework in the fall 2025 semester. The nine ...

Cells aren’t as passive as scientists once thought—they actively create internal currents to move proteins quickly and ...

A new study demonstrated that introducing neurons into Xenopus-derived biobots led to the self-organization of active neural ...

J ohn Moult remembers the time he was floored by an algorithm. Moult, one of the organizers of the Critical Assessment of Protein Structure Prediction (CASP) competitions and a computational biologist ...

A moving cell looks simple from a distance. One edge pushes forward, the rest follows, and the whole thing creeps along as if ...

Scientists are exploring ways to mimic the origins of human life without two fundamental components: sperm and egg. They are coaxing clusters of stem cells – programmable cells that can transform into ...

Now, the billionaire couple is shifting the bulk of their philanthropic resources to Biohub, the pair's science organization, and focusing on using artificial intelligence to accelerate scientific ...

Researchers discovered that a long-misunderstood protein plays a key role in helping chromosomes latch onto the right “tracks” during cell division. Instead of acting like a motor, it works more like ...

A new imaging approach is shedding light on one of cell biology’s most elusive questions: how lipids are organized and sorted within membranes.

A single-celled organism shows Pavlovian learning, challenging our assumptions about the origins of cognition.

This semester, the students were tasked with cloning four of the TChen genes and putting them through the testing process.

Synthetic biology holds promise but requires careful oversight to ensure that its development causes minimal to no harm, according to experts. This discipline aims to apply engineering principles to ...
