…progenitors and to define pathways required to grow and differentiate them utilizing human cells as a model experimental system. Evans’ lab will create special lines of human embryonic stem cells that become fluorescent when they adopt the cardiac progenitor, heart muscle, or pacemaker state, with the aim of obtaining sufficient…

The 3D Virtual Cell could do for cell biology what the Large Hadron Collider has done for particle physics. But instead of building a multi-billion-dollar facility, backers of the 3D Virtual Cell project believe they can build a virtual, rather than physical, resource that could be used by biologists and…
