The human body is an extraordinary feat of biological engineering. Every heartbeat, every breath, ...

Cells that stop dividing do not simply disappear. Some remain active, change their surroundings and accumulate as the body ...

Researchers with the global Human Cell Atlas (HCA) consortium report significant progress in their quest for a better understanding of the cells of the human body in health and disease, with the ...

A new international study led by scientists from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev has characterized the populations of fat cells in various fat tissues in the human body. Using innovative technology ...

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 ...

Every cell in the human body carries the same 3 billion letters of DNA, yet a neuron, a heart muscle cell and a pancreatic beta cell each use that shared code to do entirely different jobs. How cells ...

Profiling over 86,000 nuclei from 16 human cell types, scientists mapped two forms of epigenetic regulation in single cells ...

Scientists found that embryonic skin cells “whisper” through faint mechanical tugs, using the same force-sensing proteins that make our ears ultrasensitive. By syncing these micro-movements, the cells ...

The first time I saw living cells emit light, I realized I was watching biology express itself in an entirely different way. Not through molecules, genes, or structures, but through a faint physical ...
