University of Virginia scientists discover new cell organelle called "hemifusome" that helps manage cellular recycling.

Imagine you open up the hood of your car and take a look inside. You see an engine, the battery, various fluid reservoirs; ...

Audible sound can affect gene activity in mouse cells, boosting the attachment of muscle precursors to surrounding tissue and ...

The human body is made up of a complex community of trillions of cells of diverse shapes and sizes, all working together to keep you alive. The smallest of these cells, like platelets and red ...

We’re closer than ever to mapping the entire brain to the microscopic level. Hundreds of neuroscientists across the world recently characterized more than 3,000 human brain cell types as part of ...

Researchers hit ‘major milestone’ in mapping cells of the human body - Experts have profiled more than 100 million cells from more than 10,000 people across the world.

Modern humans have existed for more than 200,000 years, and each new generation has begun with a single cell—dividing, changing shape and function, organizing into tissues, organs, and limbs. With ...

Scientists have created tiny living robots from human cells that can move around in a lab dish and may one day be able to help heal wounds or damaged tissue, according to a new study.. A team at ...

The hugely ambitious project of mapping the estimated 37.2 trillion cells of the human body is close to reaching a historic milestone – the first draft of the 'atlas.' We got a glimpse at what's ...

Apoptosis allows tadpoles to discard tail cells when they become frogs, for example, or human embryos to dispose of the webbing between developing fingers. The cell shrinks and detaches from its ...

A “major milestone” has been reached in the goal of mapping all the cells in the human body, researchers say. It is hoped that charting the types and properties of all human cells – to build ...
