In two new studies, scientists at Oregon Health & Science University have uncovered detailed blueprints of how certain ...

A research team led by Professor Simona Giunta at the University of Rome La Sapienza has produced the first reference-quality ...

Scientists often call it an antenna. This tiny structure, sticking out from the surface of most human cells, is known as the ...

When you were first conceived, you were a single cell. From this basic fact, we can extrapolate a few things, most especially that all the cells that make up your body today came (indirectly) from ...

Stem cells age faster and become functionally exhausted in low Earth orbit, making crewed long-duration space travel even ...

Researchers build anthrobots from human airway cells that self-assemble, move, self-heal, and reverse aging markers, offering insights into synthetic life systems.

The story of the princess and the pea evokes an image of a highly sensitive royal young woman so refined, she can sense a pea ...

Electrical stimulation of macrophages could represent a new therapy to boost the body’s own repair processes in a range of injury and disease situations.

UC San Diego researchers at SSCI have discovered that spaceflight accelerates the aging of human hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs), which are vital for blood and immune system health.

Researchers have developed mice with organs containing human cells, using a convenient and surprising approach — injecting the cells directly into the amniotic fluid of pregnant mice. The method ...

Entamoeba histolytica is a single-cell parasite that causes intestinal disease, but sometimes invades the body, attacking cells and creating liquefying abscesses. UC Davis parasitologist Katherine ...

Researchers have produced the first reference-quality genome assembly of an experimentally relevant human cell line, the widely used retinal pigment epithelial line RPE-1.
