Graham Johnson, a computational biologist and scientific illustrator at the Allen Institute for Cell Science, recalls fantasizing at a lunch table, more than 15 years ago, about a computer model of a ...

Over the years, cell biology has built a detailed picture of how cells compartmentalize their internal functions. Central to this organization is the nucleus, which houses the genetic material and is ...

All cell types found in the body are derived from stem cells. However, genetic mutations can impact the ability of stem cells to develop into fully functional cells. Also, as the body ages, the number ...
