In a lab rack that looks more like a high-end audio system than a server, clusters of human brain cells are quietly learning ...

Scientists at Duke-NUS Medical School have developed two powerful computational tools that could transform how researchers ...

Researchers just announced a plan to eventually create “organoid intelligence,” or OI. They plan to grow clumps of brain cells called organoids and create technology that would allow us to turn those ...

In human cells, there are about 20,000 genes on a two-meter DNA strand—finely coiled up in a nucleus about 10 micrometers in diameter. By comparison, this corresponds to a 40-kilometer thread packed ...

The future is now…and it’s tiny. In A Nutshell Researchers built autonomous robots just 210-340 micrometers wide, roughly the ...

A new computer program allows scientists to design synthetic DNA segments that indicate, in real time, the state of cells. It will be used to screen for anti-cancer or viral infections drugs, or to ...

Scientists say they have developed a computer model -- dubbed quantitative fate mapping -- that looks back in the developmental timeline to trace the origin of cells in a fully grown organism.

Scientists at Johns Hopkins Medicine say they have developed a computer model - dubbed quantitative fate mapping - that looks back in the developmental timeline to trace the origin of cells in a fully ...

The holy grail of cancer drug targets is akin to a unicorn horn: a marker that only cancer cells have, clearly distinguishing them from healthy cells. In reality, nearly all cancer drug targets are ...

Scientists show how stem cells process DNA with speed and precision, revealing principles that could lead to programmable DNA-based chips for biotechnology and medicine. (Nanowerk News) In the human ...

IBM has started selling the first computer based on its multicore Cell processor, targeting organizations that run compute-intensive tasks such as medical imaging or oil exploration. The Cell chip was ...

Using mathematical analysis of patterns of human and animal cell behavior, scientists say they have developed a computer program that mimics the behavior of such cells in any part of the body. Led by ...
