has developed a unique software modelling environment, the Virtual Cell, for quantitative cell biological research. The Virtual Cell has been designed as a tool for scientists from diverse fields ...

Biological models are experimental systems that recreate aspects of human tissue function or disease. For example, certain tumour cell lines may serve as cancer models, and transgenic mice that ...

While animal studies are invaluable for understanding brain functions, animal models translate poorly to humans. This is largely due to fundamental differences in complexity and functional capacity ...

Moreover, we can transplant these cultures into the mouse brain. We also combine iPSC-derived endothelial cells, pericytes and astrocytes for modelling blood-brain barrier. The impact of mutations and ...

Discovering the Norn cell: A leap in biological understanding In a feat reminiscent of historical, scientific breakthroughs, AI-driven models have accelerated the pace of biological discovery ...

Rodents are arguably the most used animal models in biological research. However, scientists can employ alternative animal models, which often possess unique traits or adaptations, to improve their ...

Scientists used AI to design a fluorescent protein unlike any seen before. The AI model, ESM3, simulates evolution on a ...

To top it all off, C. elegans shares many biological pathways with humans, making it an excellent model for understanding fundamental processes such as aging, neurobiology and cell differentiation.
