Researchers build anthrobots from human airway cells that self-assemble, move, self-heal, and reverse aging markers, offering insights into synthetic life systems. (Nanowerk Spotlight) What kinds of ...

University of Cambridge scientists have used human stem cells to create three-dimensional embryo-like structures that ...

The Human Cell Atlas is yielding detailed maps of human tissues and systems throughout life, along with methods to handle single-cell data. Four scientists reflect on how the project is transforming ...

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 ...

Scientists published more than three dozen papers as part of the Human Cell Atlas, an effort to map the human body cell by cell. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

Researchers have created a way to guide and control the development of stem cells into specific tissues and organs, opening the door to developing a means of one day tackling complex diseases like ...

Ordinary human cells, not just neurons, respond more strongly to memory signals when they arrive in spaced bursts rather than ...

The human body contains around 36 trillion to 37 trillion cells, and researchers are mapping out where every one of those cells lives. Scientists with the Human Cell Atlas (HCA), an international ...

In a human body, cells are constantly making life-or-death decisions. If they make the wrong choice, the result can be cancer. It may be possible to treat diseases by influencing this behavior.

More than one-sixth of adults around the world experience infertility in their lifetime. There is a high unmet need not only for increased access to affordable, high-quality fertility care for those ...

The embryos weren’t used to try to establish a pregnancy, but the researchers behind the technique say it could one day be ...
