Hemifusomes are fused vesicles, or sacs of fluid, that were previously unknown to exist inside cells. They were discovered ...

Scientists say they captured 3D images of a new organelle they're calling a "hemifusome," which may be a recycling center in ...

In 2015, scientists used stem cells in a lab dish to grow the innermost cellular layer of human fallopian tubes, the structures that connect the ovaries and the uterus.

In a twist, researchers at the University of Virginia and the National Institutes of Health uncovered a new organelle, dubbed ...

A fertilized egg somehow manages to build skin, brain, and blood cells within days. But how? New tech called LoxCode is ...

Why Science Is Still Discovering New Parts of the Human Body INSANE IN THE MEMBRANE Despite all our medical advancements, there’s still a lot we’re learning about our own anatomy.

In this new study, researchers have demonstrated the creation of robust macaque-human embryos ex vivo (or, outside an organism) using multi-purpose human stem cells that survived 19 days.

“You could see little parts of the human cell being broken off,” Ralston said of her very first encounter with the parasite. In 2014, she published her initial findings in Nature on the ...

Back then, people believed that it killed cells by injecting them with a poison. But as she watched it through a microscope, she saw something very different. E. histolytica was actually taking bites ...

The human cells became part of the rats’ brains. The idea is to get a better sense of what happens in the brains of living people—something that is notoriously difficult to do.

It's common knowledge that our brains—and, specifically, our brain cells—store memories. But a team of scientists has discovered that cells from other parts of the body also perform a memory ...
