The human body contains around 36 trillion to 37 trillion cells, and researchers are mapping out where every one of those cells lives. Scientists with the Human Cell Atlas (HCA), an international ...

A New York University study has found that kidney and nerve tissue cells can form memories much like brain cells. According to the study authors, their findings could help researchers better ...

Within tumors in the human body, there are immune cells (macrophages) capable of fighting cancer, but they have been unable ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute and AlveoliX have developed the first human 'lung-on-chip' model using stem cells ...

Researchers have mapped variation in human stem cells that explains how cells of an individual may shape a unique 'developmental dance' at the molecular level, thereby controlling how the brain and ...

Researchers have created an early map of some of the human body’s estimated 37.2 trillion cells. Each type of cell has a unique role, and knowing what all the cells do can help scientists better ...

Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) have developed a remarkable new way for making human body cells behave like egg cells—a technique that could change the course of the future of ...

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 evolved testicles of all different sizes. In almost all these separate cases, ...

Stem cells age faster and become functionally exhausted in low Earth orbit, making crewed long-duration space travel even more challenging. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...
