Human genes are written in long strings of three-letter units composed of four different nucleotides. These units—or ...

Researchers from King's College London and the University of Surrey have developed a new technique to measure the content of ...

It has long been known that our bodies derive energy from sugar. Researchers at RPTU University Kaiserslautern-Landau have ...

Human cells can possibly sense far beyond surfaces they touch, with cancer cells being able to probe about 10 microns ahead, ...

A dish of living human neurons has been taught to play Doom. No, it isn’t conscious or watching the screen the way players do. But it is learning to respond to signals in a way that produces ...

Researchers at Australian start-up Cortical Labs have taught human neurons grown on a chip to play the classic Doom game. In 2021, they had already used 800,000 neurons to play Pong. Now, with four ...

Graham Johnson, a computational biologist and scientific illustrator at the Allen Institute for Cell Science, recalls fantasizing at a lunch table, more than 15 years ago, about a computer model of a ...

Neuron-powered computer chips can now be easily programmed to play a first-person shooter game, bringing biological computers a step closer to useful applications ...

"The infection of our body cells is like a dance between virus and cell," suggested Yohei Yamauchi at ETH Zurich. With their new system, the team watched how single flu virus particles move across the ...

The current path to CAR-T cell therapy is, by any measure, a logistical ordeal. A patient’s immune cells must be drawn out of ...

Researchers have developed a human intestinal cell model that closely mimics the structure and function of the human gut, enabling more precise prediction of drug-induced gastrointestinal toxicity ...

Melbourne startup Cortical Labs uses 200,000 human brain cells in a petri dish to play Doom by translating game data into ...
