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 ...

Scientists published more than three dozen papers as part of the Human Cell Atlas, an effort to map the human body cell by cell. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

How do stem cells know what to become? Nearly three decades after scientists isolated the first human embryonic stem cells, researchers are still working hard to understand precisely how a single, ...

In many cells of the human body, hair-like protrusions known as cilia act as antennae, allowing cells to receive signals from ...

Researchers have created a way to guide and control the development of stem cells into specific tissues and organs, opening the door to developing a means of one day tackling complex diseases like ...

Scientists found a virus-like living entity in human bodies named "obelisks" - small loops of RNA, each a thousand genetic ...

Scientists found that embryonic skin cells “whisper” through faint mechanical tugs, using the same force-sensing proteins that make our ears ultrasensitive. By syncing these micro-movements, the cells ...

Cells, including those in the human body, might have the ability to "learn," a capability once thought to be exclusive to ...

In a proof-of-concept experiment, scientists demonstrated that you can create and fertilize human eggs in the lab using sperm ...

The bacterium known as Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an unwelcome visitor in the human body. Serious infections can result when a ...
