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

The Human Cell Atlas is an international collaborative consortium launched in 2016 by Israeli biologists Aviv Regev, now at Genentech, and Sarah Teichmann of Cambridge University, along with ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

Scientists have grown kidneys containing mostly human cells inside pig embryos, an important step toward growing kidneys and potentially other human organs that could be used for transplants in ...

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 ...

Called the Human Cell Breast Atlas, the open-source guide contains biological data on all the cells present in mammary tissue. A paper on the development was published June 28 in Nature.

First, it’s probably a good idea to understand why this has become such a popular myth. It possibly comes down to a 2005 paper that used a new (at the time) method to date human cells, with one ...
