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 ...

Unlike virtually every other cell in the human body, the syncytiotrophoblast doesn't have a single nucleus. It has roughly 10 ...

Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) have developed a remarkable new way for making human body cells behave like egg cells—a technique that could change the course of the future of ...

Scientists mapping the human body at the cellular level keep running into the same surprise: beneath the apparent chaos of tissues and organs, there is a hidden order that looks a lot like pure ...

King's College London researchers have created a unique collection of human stem cell models that could help to uncover why HIV leads to different outcomes in different people. The research was ...

AN ADULT HUMAN body consists of some 37trn cells. Not so long ago, these were thought to come in 220 different types. That number, the product of painstaking decades spent peering through microscopes ...

Researchers have created an early map of some of the human body’s estimated 37.2 trillion cells. Each type of cell has a unique role, and knowing what all the cells do can help scientists better ...

We all carry cells from other individuals within us. This discovery, which affects all species with a placenta, is called microchimerism.

Scientists are exploring ways to mimic the origins of human life without two fundamental components: sperm and egg. They are coaxing clusters of stem cells – programmable cells that can transform into ...

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 ...

Cell regeneration happens at night: a naturopath offers failsafe dinner recipes rich in antioxidants and nutrients to help skin, tissue, and the rest of your body heal faster.
