If scientists could shrink themselves to microscopic size and take a journey through the human body—like the submarine crew ...

By examining genetic clues that linger in adult cells, scientists have now gained surprising insights into the developmental ...

In two new studies, scientists at Oregon Health & Science University have uncovered detailed blueprints of how certain molecular "gates" in human cells work—findings that could open doors to new ...

A human female is born with all the egg cells she will ever have. The possibility for the development of new oocytes is zero. Given this constraint, it is crucial that these gametes remain healthy and ...

A growing body of research suggests astrocytes, star-shaped brain cells once dismissed as support players, may lead the way ...

After a decade-long quest to fill a major gap in basic biology, UChicago scientists have built a complete map of how cells ...

Creating human eggs from adult cells just got one step closer to reality. A technique used in cloning combined with fertilization and a bit of chemical coaxing caused human skin cells to produce eggs ...

Every second, millions of blood cells are produced in the human body, and about 90% of the cells replaced daily are blood cells. These include red blood cells essential for oxygen transport, platelets ...

Scientists have trained a computer made from living human neurons to play the classic video game Doom, marking a strange but important step forward in biological computing. A clump of roughly 200,000 ...
