The team used human stem cells to create embryo-like structures dubbed “hematoids” that mirror some features of early human ...

A new study from The University of Texas at Arlington has revealed how cells control their mitochondria—the "energy producers ...

Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) have developed a remarkable new way for making human body cells ...

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 ...

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 ...

The 2024 Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine has been awarded to US scientists Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun for their work on the discovery of microRNA, a molecule that governs how cells in the ...

Every day, your immune system performs a delicate balancing act, defending you from thousands of pathogens that cause disease while sparing your body's own healthy cells. This careful equilibrium is ...

“Like riding a bike” is shorthand for the remarkable way that our bodies remember how to move. Most of the time when we talk ...

By learning to adjust these biological “brakes” with precision, medicine is entering a new era. Treatments inspired by these ...

Brain cells named for stars are finally getting their time to shine. Three distinct studies, published May 15 in Science, show that astrocytes, once thought of as support cells, powerfully shape how ...
