A human cell is a Rube Goldberg machine like no other, full of biological chain reactions that make the difference between life and death. Understanding these delicate relationships and how they go wrong in disease is one of the central fascinations of biology

As every gamer knows, computers can plausibly simulate just about anything from the routine concerns of a household to the crises confronting a multiplanetary civilization. Simulating the fundamental unit of life — the cell — should be a walk in the park.

Billion dollar-backed AI drug developer, Xaira Therapeutics, has recently released the largest virtual cell model to-date to predict how cells respond to genetic perturbations in unseen biological contexts. The team asserts that accurately ...

Scientists have uncovered a surprising principle behind the brain's intricate development from a single cell. Researchers propose that cells, much like spreading human populations, tend to stay near their 'ancestors.

For the first time, a stem cell model has produced a structure resembling an early human embryo with a yolk-sac-like structure, from a single starting stem cell population and without direct genetic manipulation. The models were made at University of ...

Scientists at the Stowers Institute for Medical Research, Helmholtz Munich, the Technical University of Munich, and the University of Oxford have developed RegVelo - a new AI framework that simultaneously models cellular dynamics and gene regulation ...
