In mammals, hair follicles emerge during embryonic development, forming geometric patterns that vary from one species to ...

In mechanobiology, cells' forces have been considered fundamental to their enhanced function, including fast migration. But a group of researchers in the McKelvey School of Engineering at Washington ...

Cell migration underpins critical processes such as embryonic development, immune surveillance and tumour metastasis. The dynamics of motile cells arise from a complex interplay between intracellular ...

A new study integrated mathematical modeling with advanced imaging to discover that the physical shape of the fruit fly egg chamber, combined with chemical signals, significantly influences how cells ...

The blood–brain barrier (BBB) is a specialized vascular interface that strictly regulates the exchange of cells and molecules between the bloodstream and ...
