Cortical organoids mirror mouse brain cell types, yet lose developmental sequence
Over a decade ago, scientists redefined how to study organ development by generating seemingly unremarkable clumps of cells.

Scientists uncover drivers of recurrent arthritis after immunotherapy, suggesting potential biomarkers
A new study led by researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center has shown that inflammatory arthritis occurring as a side effect of immune checkpoint inhibitors behaves like an immune-memory disease, suggesting that certain immune cell populations could serve
Scientists find evidence for two origins of life on Earth
Scientists probing life’s deepest origins have uncovered evidence that the first free-living cells may have emerged not once, but twice.
Quality control of proteins in the cellular membrane starts at the ribosome
Scientists at the Center for Molecular Medicine Cologne (CMMC) and the CECAD Cluster of Excellence on Aging Research have demonstrated in a biomedical study that ribosomes, the protein factories of our cells, face an unusually tough challenge when building large, membrane-embedde
Fluorescence lifetime imaging distinguishes multiple proteins in living plant cells
Fluorescent protein imaging is an indispensable tool in life science research, enabling visualization of protein movement and localization, gene expression, signaling pathways, protein-protein interactions and more.
‘A mouse can’t tell us what works’: UK scientists to grow miniature human organs for drug testing
Organoids and tissues grown from human cells promise more accurate results, with £20m Cambridge project to create standardised modelsMiniature human organs and other tissues are to be grown from NHS patients’ cells in a drive to improve medicine testing and reduce the number of a
Single-cell atlas reveals how spinal neurons help coordinate walking and other rhythmic movements
Jude Children's Research Hospital created a single-cell atlas of a key class of spinal neurons involved in motor coordination.
Stem cells create humanlike heart valve tissue to model disease and test treatments
Melbourne researchers have created human heart valve tissues from stem cells, providing a powerful new platform to advance treatments for childhood heart diseases.
New miniature microscope allows scientists to watch and control brain cells during natural movement
Researchers at the University of Colorado Anschutz and the University of Colorado Boulder have developed a miniature microscope that allows scientists to observe and activate individual brain cells during natural movement, an advance that could accelerate research into how the br
Immune cells rely on a cholesterol sensor to maintain balance, researchers discover
Every day, billions of cells in our body die and are removed as part of normal tissue maintenance.
Scientists uncover cellular mechanism driving both rare childhood dementia and Alzheimer's disease
Researchers at the University of California San Diego and their colleagues have identified a key cellular pathway that drives brain degeneration in both a rare childhood disorder and the far more common Alzheimer's disease.
Three energy-loss routes may explain Tarantula Nebula's X-ray shortfall
Like a collage made of layered sheets of colored cellophane, a vibrant new image layers observations of a famous star-forming nebula from NASA's space telescopes.
