The team found that the border cells' movement wasn't only driven by continuously increasing chemical concentrations from one end of the egg chamber to the other, as earlier models suggested.

To ascertain that the cellar geometry really was responsible for the border cells' path, the paper's other lead author Xiaoran Guo, a doctoral student in Montell's lab, looked at mutated egg ...

Segmentation and reconstruction of migrating cell cluster. 3D time-lapse movies of migrating border cell clusters were generated as described in Methods.

The polar cells have no moving ability, so they must recruit the surrounding six to eight cells to border them and carry them away. When it's time to go, the pair sends a signal, a cytokine-like ...

Carpenter is using AI and other computational methods to do exactly that, helping to propel an AI-driven boom in cell biology and medicine over the past decade.

An ambitious project launched in 2016 has made a dent in one of biology’s greatest challenges — with more than 3,600 researchers profiling more than 100 million cells.

From this data, the model — known as Universal Cell Embedding, or U.C.E. — calculated the similarity among cells, grouping them into more than 1,000 clusters according to how they used their ...
