Researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have built a computer simulation that tracks the entire life cycle of a living cell in four dimensions, capturing how the genetically minimal ...

The awe-inspiring process of cell division can turn a fertilized egg into a baby -- or a cancerous cell into a malignant tumor. With so much at stake, nature keeps it tightly controlled in a process ...

The researchers, led by chemistry professor Zan Luthey-Schulten at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, present their findings in the journal Cell. The team simulated a living cell at ...

Cells are the basic building blocks of all living organisms. In a healthy body, cells follow an orderly life cycle: they ...

Post-mitotic neurons in the brain that re-enter the cell cycle quickly succumb to senescence, and this re-entry is more common in Alzheimer's disease, according to a new study published April 9 th in ...

Summary image of the article. The upper part highlights neuronal cell cycle re-engagement is a stage proceeding neuronal senescence and that their full molecular profiles can now be identified by the ...

My current research includes building coarse-grained models and simulations of cytoskeletal filaments and their associated motor proteins with the aim of better understanding the role of cytoskeleton ...

New ways to understand metabolism offer pathways for advances in human health and disease Chinese researchers have decoded the metabolic cycle of yeast using mathematical analysis, revealing striking ...
