King's College London researchers have created a unique collection of human stem cell models that could help to uncover why ...

Scientists have uncovered a direct molecular mechanism by which gut bacteria inject proteins into human cells, reshaping immune responses and potentially driving inflammatory disease. Scientists have ...

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 have unveiled the first draft of the Human Cell Atlas, a project aiming to map every cell type in the human body to enhance the understanding of health and disease. It could eventually be ...

Two new lines of brain research are testing whether aging cells can be nudged into working more like young ones. In one study ...

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 ...

Biomedical researchers at Texas A&M University may have discovered a way to stop or even reverse the decline of cellular energy production—a finding that could have revolutionary effects across ...

Researchers have developed mice with organs containing human cells, using a convenient and surprising approach — injecting the cells directly into the amniotic fluid of pregnant mice. The method ...
