Stem cells are precursors of a variety of different cells: They can turn into anything from blood to bone to muscle. Human blood stem cells, known as hematopoietic stem cells, are the forerunners of ...

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 ...

Obesity leaves a lasting imprint on fat and immune cells in ways that might make weight regain harder to avoid ...

Organ-on-chip devices are small, transparent microfluidic platforms, typically the size of a microscope slide, etched with tiny channels through which fluids circulate ...

Graham Johnson, a computational biologist and scientific illustrator at the Allen Institute for Cell Science, recalls fantasizing at a lunch table, more than 15 years ago, about a computer model of a ...

This hybrid system lets researchers zoom in on living human cells with incredible detail. This offers a new real time insight into how the flu virus operates. For the first time, researchers could ...

From interactive diagrams to A.I. assistants, virtual tools are beginning to supplant physical dissections in some classrooms Students learn anatomy from an Asclepius AI Table, which merges ...

Researchers are learning how to refill the energy reserves of aging human cells, turning a long-standing metaphor about “cellular batteries” into a literal engineering challenge. By training healthy ...
