Even after decades of research, biologists are still uncovering surprises about the human body. A team of researchers from ...

In 2015, scientists used stem cells in a lab dish to grow the innermost cellular layer of human fallopian tubes, the structures that connect the ovaries and the uterus.

But what's remarkable is that for no human cell type do we really have a proper parts catalog and assembly manual," said co-senior author Trey Ideker, Ph.D., a professor of medicine, adjunct ...

In a twist, researchers at the University of Virginia and the National Institutes of Health uncovered a new organelle, dubbed ...

Back then, people believed that it killed cells by injecting them with a poison. But as she watched it through a microscope, she saw something very different. E. histolytica was actually taking bites ...

The Human Cell Atlas (HCA) consortium was founded in 2016 with the aim to build a biological atlas of every cell in the human body. Since the release of its white paper in 2017, the consortium has ...

It's common knowledge that our brains—and, specifically, our brain cells—store memories. But a team of scientists has discovered that cells from other parts of the body also perform a memory ...

Regev compared scientific knowledge of cell biology before the Human Cell Atlas initiative with a “15 th century map.” “Now, years later, the resolution of the map is a lot higher,” she said.
