New techniques reveal previously unseen communication between living systems in the body of a zebrafish. And yes, that ...

One of the biggest quests in biology is understanding how every cell in an animal's body carries an identical genome yet still gives rise to a kaleidoscope of different cell types and tissues. A ...

Animal cell and molecular biology examines how cells are built, how they process information and energy, and how they respond to their physical and chemical environments. At its heart is the cell ...

Animal developmental and reproductive biology encompasses the cellular, molecular and tissue-level events that transform a single fertilised cell into a fully formed adult capable of reproduction. Key ...

Scientists at the Research Institute for Farm Animal Biology (FBN) in Dummerstorf and the University of Udine have detected the uptake of nanoplastics in farm animal cell cultures. The results provide ...

Virtual cell models that enable the prediction of cell behavior across scales and biological contexts are rapidly emerging at the forefront of drug discovery. Tom Sercu, PhD, vice president of AI and ...

Think back to that basic biology class you took in high school. You probably learned about organelles, those little “organs” inside cells that form compartments with individual functions. For example, ...

Help your students master the differences between animal and plant cells with this engaging and easy-to-use comparing cells activity! Designed for year 7-8, this worksheet encourages critical thinking ...

Regulators are steering drug testing away from animals, and the systems stepping in each capture only a slice of a living body.
