The brain's immune system has long been thought to exist independently from the rest of the body, complete with its own ...

How readily a cell divides and how well it survives are fundamental to life, shaping everything from organ size to the body's ability to withstand disease. That combination, known as cell fitness, isn ...

Researchers created a cell village culture system and Townlet algorithm to map genetic drivers of brain cell growth, 16p11.2 ...

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 ...

Established in 2016, the Human Cell Atlas (HCA) consortium set out to create a comprehensive biological map of cells within the human body. Now progressing into a data integration phase, the HCA is ...

Researchers with the global Human Cell Atlas (HCA) consortium report significant progress in their quest for a better understanding of the cells of the human body in health and disease, with the ...

Deep brain stimulation researchers at UCLA and UT Southwestern published a Nature study mapping, for the first time in living ...

The most complex engineering of human cell lines ever has been achieved by scientists, revealing that our genomes are more resilient to significant structural changes than was previously thought. The ...

Virtual cell models that enable the prediction of cell behavior across scales and biological contexts are rapidly emerging at the forefront of drug discovery. Tom Sercu, PhD, vice president of AI and ...

Environmental factors influence human cell physiology and can also affect drug efficacy, but existing model systems used to study human cells have limitations for understanding these contributions. In ...
