In research that could shed light on the growth and formation of complex tissue architectures, Brown University engineers ...

This PRESTO project aims to understand life phenomena as a system through the spatiotemporal analysis of the cells that constitute tissue, organs, and organism. We intend to rally researchers ...

In the body axis segmentation in the spider embryo, different periodic stripe forming dynamics, including oscillation, tri-splitting, and bi-splitting, occur depending on the body regions. To ...

Scientists at Nagoya University in Japan have identified the genes that allow an organism to switch between living as single cells and forming multicellular structures. This ability to alternate ...

A study presents a striking example of cooperative organization among cells as a potential force in the evolution of multicellular life. The study is based on the fluid dynamics of cooperative feeding ...

In research that could shed light on the growth and formation of complex tissue architectures, Brown University engineers ...

In a recent study, NASA-supported researchers gained new insight into the lives of bacteria that survive by grouping together as if they were a multi-cellular organism. The organisms in the study are ...

Multicellular spheroids are initially slightly elongated but round up as they begin to orbit. However, this applies gradually increasing forces on the surrounding collagen matrix at the top and bottom ...
