For decades, lab-grown cells have been studied in materials that don't reflect the softness and flexibility of human tissue.

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 ...

Scientists have attempted to map the human cell since the first microscope was invented more than 400 years ago. But many components of the cell still remain uncharted. "We know each of the proteins ...

Researchers have developed a human intestinal cell model that closely mimics the structure and function of the human gut, enabling more precise prediction of drug-induced gastrointestinal toxicity ...

After a heart attack, the heart struggles to recoup and maintain energy. One third of patients develop heart failure as a ...

Researchers from University of California San Diego Sanford Stem Cell Institute have discovered that spaceflight accelerates the aging of human hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs), which ...

Sickle cell disease is often thought of solely as a blood disorder, but new research from the Wood Neuro Research Group ...

"The infection of our body cells is like a dance between virus and cell," suggested Yohei Yamauchi at ETH Zurich. With their new system, the team watched how single flu virus particles move across the ...

Human pluripotent stem-cells (HPSCs)—including human embryonic stem-cells and human induced pluripotent stem-cells—are reshaping the landscape of regenerative medicine.1,2 In Parkinson's disease, ...
