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.

If we look across the whole of the mammal branch of the tree of life, we find there are many groups of mammals that have ...

For years now, medical researchers have been reproducing human cells in laboratories by hand to create blood vessels, urine tubes, skin tissue and other living body parts.

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

The Human Cell Atlas has received less attention than the $3 billion Human Genome Project, which was completed in 2003 after 15 years of work. But it's equally ambitious.

These statements have led some to the conclusion that every cell in the human body is replaced every 7 to 10 years — a fun but inaccurate factoid commonly held as true.

Called bioprinters, these machines use human cells as “ink.” A standard 3-D printer layers plastic to create car parts, for example, or trinkets, but a bioprinter layers cells to form three ...
