Researchers build anthrobots from human airway cells that self-assemble, move, self-heal, and reverse aging markers, offering insights into synthetic life systems.

By tracking the fate of individual embryonic stem cells, researchers have found that endoderm cells—early embryonic cells ...

NEW YORK — In a remarkable finding that challenges what scientists have long believed, a new study finds that the ability to ...

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 ...

New research has identified yet another way that spaceflight tampers with the human body. A study involving samples flown on ...

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 ...

Stem cells anchor the development of human organs and other structures, and, in some cases, can also perform repairs. The intensive interest in these developmental masterminds relates directly to ...

A growing number of new studies have found that, at least for some cells, death isn’t the end, but the beginning of something ...

Cells, including those in the human body, might have the ability to "learn," a capability once thought to be exclusive to complex creatures with brains, such as birds and mammals, according to a new ...

Small cell lung cancer cells that metastasize to the brain cozy up to neurons and form working electrical connections, called ...

Aging is the process of getting older. In biology, aging refers to how, over time, the cells in our bodies wear out or get damaged. They no longer work as well as they used to. Some visible signs of ...
