How solving a hepatitis B paradox opened the door to new therapies
A collaboration between Rockefeller, MSK, and Weill Cornell answers a longstanding mystery about the basic biology of the hepatitis B virus, while also proposing a novel therapy.
Researchers uncover key insights into how the body protects against neuron damage
New research on nematodes reveals how glial cells maintain and monitor neuronal dendrites.
Study reveals how unexpected shifts in cell populations are revising our understanding of the aging process
A newly created atlas of 21 million cells could upend long-held assumptions about how we age and provide fresh directions for anti-aging therapies.
Stem cell model offers first glimpse of early human development
The new platform’s ethically grounded approach promises to reveal much about how human embryos form during the earliest stages of pregnancy.
Innovative method identifies rare brain cell types for the first time
It also reduces the cost of a million single-cell transcriptomes from $10,000 to $700—and the time necessary down to about a day.
A new way of thinking about how organ architecture develops 
By focusing on the emergent features of cell collectives, instead of individual cells, scientists forge a new path for understanding how organs develop their architecture.   
New method tracks how brain cells age
The novel technique may offer panoramic view into the mechanisms of many diseases and the enigma of aging.
Lab-grown mini lungs could accelerate the study of respiratory diseases  
The labs of Ali Brivanlou and Charles M. Rice collaborated to refine a cell culture technology platform that grows genetically identical lung buds from human embryonic stem cells.
How the intestine replaces and repairs itself
A new study suggests that stem cells are able to integrate cues from their surroundings and coordinate their behavior across tissue through networks of vasculature in their close vicinity.
How intricate patterns arise in developing tissues
In developing bird skin, immature cells move around and form intricate patterns. Scientists are zeroing in on the mechanical forces guiding the process.
