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 ...

Biomedical research seeks to understand human physiology and disease risk, as well as myriad biological processes in humans—from the genetic level on up. Biomedical research also informs drug ...

Most animals, including humans, have bilateral symmetry, which means our bodies are pretty symmetrical. At least on the ...

The FDA’s emerging framework represents more than a regulatory update; it is a paradigm shift toward human-relevant, ...

Scientists have studied the nematode worm Caenorhabditis elegans for decades, making essential contributions to basic science. In the latest milestone, scientists used cutting-edge technology to ...

More than 90% of drugs that appear safe and effective in animal studies ultimately fail once they reach human trials, and the consequences are staggering: billions of dollars wasted, delays in new ...
