Animal bodies are hierarchically organised from molecules and cells through tissues, organs and whole systems. Cellular architecture—membranes, cytoskeletons and extracellular matrices—provides ...

A key question that remains in biology and biophysics is how three-dimensional tissue shapes emerge during animal development. Research teams from the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology ...

In the newly revised seventh edition of “Dellmann’s Textbook of Veterinary Histology,” a team of distinguished veterinary professionals delivers a comprehensive update on the function of cells, ...

Life and death are traditionally viewed as opposites. But the emergence of new multicellular life-forms from the cells of a dead organism introduces a “third state” that lies beyond the traditional ...

Persistent organic pollutants (POPs) begin to accumulate in the tissues of mammals already during the fetal stage, according to new research from the University of Oulu, Finland. The animal-model ...

A key question that remains in biology and biophysics is how three-dimensional tissue shapes emerge during animal development. Research teams have now found a mechanism by which tissues can be ...
