MDI Bio Lab scientists discovered how zebrafish solve a basic challenge in regenerative biology—insights in their newest publication in the journal Development could one day guide human repair.

Microscopic images of human tissue are a cornerstone of biomedical research and clinical diagnostics. Yet despite their importance, these images often remain difficult to analyze systematically and to ...

Off the coast of Japan, biologists netted a pea-size jellyfish with an unusual circadian clock — a chance finding that suggests there are likely more overlooked biological timekeeping mechanisms to be ...

A new filtration unit, the nephron, forms from cells aggregating directly an old tubule (the plumbing that regulates tissue fluid composition while removing waste to the urine). Near the bottom of the ...
