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

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

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.

The growth of new segments (body parts) in marine worms is controlled by a special growth zone, in which special stem cells are located. New segments then emerge by the division of these cells.

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 ...

Scientists discover never-before-seen part of human cells For example, in the 1890s, anatomist Robert Wiedersheim published a list of 86 human "vestiges," or body parts that had "lost their ...

A fertilized egg somehow manages to build skin, brain, and blood cells within days. But how? New tech called LoxCode is ...

“You could see little parts of the human cell being broken off,” Ralston said of her very first encounter with the parasite. In 2014, she published her initial findings in Nature on the ...

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.

What happens to our brains when we die? A new study could provide answers 06:41. Scientists have transplanted human brain cells into the brains of baby rats, where the cells grew and formed ...

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 ...

The human body is a machine whose many parts—from the microscopic details of our cells to our limbs, eyes, liver and ...
