Learn how animal-free 3D systems can reduce variability in drug discovery, leading to better human biology representation.

Developing chemotherapy drugs against breast cancer is costly, slow, and often inefficient, with more than 95% of screened drug candidates failing in patient trials. A new technique for 3D cell ...

A novel method has enabled scientists to 3D-print structures into live cells, paving the way for a new class of intracellular bioengineering tools and applications. In a first, scientists from the ...

Most cells in the human body exist in complex three-dimensional environments, yet they are still commonly studied on flat plastic dishes. These two-dimensional cultures distort cell behavior, limiting ...

Demyelinating diseases, including multiple sclerosis (MS) and Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease, present a substantial and ...

July 2 (Reuters) - Insulin-producing human pancreas cells can be manufactured with 3D printers, researchers reported at the International Transplant Congress, opens new tab underway in London. Using a ...

Under stress, animal cells pair inactive ribosomes into RNA-linked disomes. A ribosomal RNA “kissing loop” joins them, protecting ribosomes and reducing protein synthesis to conserve energy.<br /> ...

Neurons have a "hibernation mode." Scientists discover how brain cells use RNA tentacles to lock their protein factories together to survive when energy is low.

Ribosomes, the cell's protein-making factories, consume large amounts of energy as they build the proteins that keep cells ...
