Cellular organization, physiology & dynamics is a research area focused on understanding how cells are spatially structured, how their molecular components are functionally integrated, and how these ...

Sterols, such as cholesterol in our bodies or ergosterol in yeast cells, are among the most abundant lipids in eukaryotic cells, yet are synthesized through notoriously long, complex metabolic ...

Researchers at Helmholtz Munich and the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have developed Nicheformer, the first large-scale foundation model that integrates single-cell analysis with spatial ...

The immune system is a complex response of various cells that detect and elicit mechanisms to eliminate disease. This orchestrated response in healthy individuals overcomes infections and foreign ...

One of the most fundamental processes in all of biology is the spontaneous organization of cells into clusters that divide and eventually turn into shapes – be they organs, wings, or limbs. Scientists ...

Researchers have gained new insights into the mechanism behind the spatial organization of DNA within the cells of early embryos. When an embryo is first formed after fertilization, each cell has the ...

The research group of prof. Sanjiv Luther at the department of immunobiology of the University of Lausanne has discovered that a fibroblast subtype is essential for coordinating certain immune cells ...
