Using mathematical analysis of patterns of human and animal cell behavior, scientists say they have developed a computer program that mimics the behavior of such cells in any part of the body. Led by ...

Professor Suzannah Williams wishes she didn’t have to spend her days analyzing poop samples. It’s a dirty job; but someone’s got to do it. Biodiversity is rapidly dwindling, with wildlife populations ...

How did the characteristic pattern of embryonic cell divisions during animal development evolve? Analysis of the multicellular development of an organism related to animals now provides some answers.

Animals, from worms and sponges to jellyfish and whales, contain anywhere from a few thousand to tens of trillions of nearly genetically identical cells. Depending on the organism, these cells arrange ...

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 ...
