Rapidly evolving imaging technologies were front and center at the “World Molecular Imaging Congress”, which was held recently in Montreal. This year’s meeting provided a timely forum to discuss the ...

Biomedical research seeks to understand human physiology and disease risk, as well as myriad biological processes in humans—from the genetic level on up. Biomedical research also informs drug ...

A key question that remains in biology and biophysics is how three-dimensional tissue shapes emerge during animal development. Research teams have now found a mechanism by which tissues can be ...

A research team has recently made a significant discovery about the evolutionary age of different type of cells in a small animal called Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans). By using single-cell ...

Animal growth and development is a multifaceted process that spans from the prenatal phase—where rapid cellular proliferation, differentiation and morphogenesis occur—to postnatal expansion, which ...
