The membrane-bound organelle appears to play a huge role in helping cells sort, discard, and recycle their contents. It's ...

At the heart of our cells, a previously unknown structure has just been identified, shedding new light on essential biological mechanisms. This discovery could transform our understanding of ...

Scientists combined 120 of these cells in a precise ratio, mixed them in a shaker, and then watched to see what developed — and soon, an embryo-like structure formed spontaneously.

Researchers at ChristianaCare’s Helen F. Graham Cancer Center & Research Institute and the University of Delaware have uncovered what could be a biological “instruction manual” for how ...

Normal human cells have been dried out and revived eight days later using a trick evolved by a bacterium that can survive for centuries without water. The technique could have all sorts of medical ...

Scientists have created synthetic blobs that resemble a 14-day-old human embryo for the first time, meaning they can study embryo development beyond a particularly tricky period of pregnancy.

Using a new artificial intelligence method, researchers at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons can accurately predict the activity of genes within any human cell ...

In a new study, published today (12 July) in Nature, researchers have produced the most detailed and comprehensive human Heart Cell Atlas to date, including the specialised tissue of the cardiac ...
