Every cell in the body has the same DNA, but different cell types—such as muscle or brain cells—use different parts of it.

Often described as ‘miracle’ cells, stem cells need to be truly mastered if we’re to use them in medical treatments.

All living beings, big or small, are formed through the hard work of many different cells. To keep the body ready for any challenge, cells need to be dynamic. Often, this means the same types of ...

Over the course of evolution, the human heart has largely lost its ability to regenerate. Our distant ancestors were not ...

Summary: Scientists have built one of the most comprehensive single-cell maps of the developing human brain. The new BrainSTEM framework analyzed nearly 680,000 fetal brain cells to chart their growth ...

Gene expression reveals that different types of human cell can work as a unit. These cellular modules, found in several tissues, change during disease. However, suitable computational methods are ...

A new 3D human brain tissue platform developed by MIT researchers is the first to integrate all major brain cell types, including neurons, glial cells and the vasculature into a single culture. Grown ...

A new method developed by scientists could soon make liver disease treatment easier and more effective—without a transplant.

A new computational tool developed by researchers has uncovered genetic evidence directly linking Alzheimer’s disease to the ...

Cells at the bottom of a liquid medium begin levitating, then hovering at a particular height. With no physical contact, an ...

Scientists have created the world’s first mosquito cell map, revealing how these insects spread diseases like dengue and Zika ...
