Successful embryonic development depends on a series of patterning and symmetry breaking events. Developmental patterning is often coordinated by organizers, specialized signaling centers that dictate ...

Biologists have used human pluripotent stem cells to grow sesame-seed-sized heart models, called cardioids, that spontaneously self-organize to develop a hollow chamber without the need of ...

Biological processes depend on puzzle pieces coming together and interacting. Under specific conditions, these interactions can create something new without external input. This is called ...

LMU researchers have developed a new strategy for manufacturing nanoscale structures in a time- and resource-efficient manner. Macromolecules such as cellular structures or virus capsids can emerge ...

Biologist Sasha Mendjan at the Austrian Academy of Sciences in Vienna and his team have used human pluripotent stem cells to grow sesame-seed-sized heart models, called cardioids, that spontaneously ...
