Cells are drawn as balls as determined using the new TypeTracker method, which can follow all cells as they grow and divide and, importantly, choose their identity or type.

In the center of this NASA photograph taken in 2012, Petermann Glacier in northwest Greenland gradually moves toward the ocean, with large segments breaking off and drifting away as icebergs. Researchers at UCI and NASA JPL used satellite data from three European missions to learn how warm ocean water is causing the migration of the…
Young animals use energy to grow, and later in life, to reproduce. Credit: Shutterstock All animals need energy to live. They use it to breathe, circulate blood, digest food and move. Young animals use energy to grow, and later in life, to reproduce. Increased body temperature increases the rate at which an animal uses energy.…
