Bacterial model helps reveal how our bodies prevent population explosions—and cancer
For the size of any population to remain stable over time, its birth and death rates must be balanced. If the birthrate is too high, there could be a population explosion; if it is too low, the population will shrink. This ...

To make mini-organs grow faster, give them a squeeze
The closer people are physically to one another, the higher the chance for exchange, of things like ideas, information, and even infection. Now researchers at MIT and Boston Children's Hospital have found that, even in the ...

Technologies for single-cell RNA profiling can help dissect the cellular bases of complex diseases around the globe
Within a given tissue or organ, cells may appear very similar or even identical. But at the molecular level, these cells can have small differences that lead to wide variations in their functions.
