In two new studies, scientists at Oregon Health & Science University have uncovered detailed blueprints of how certain ...

Studying the process of brain formation illuminates just how much of development is a series of tiny miracles. Only a few weeks after a human egg is fertilized, a sheet of cells called the neural ...

Brain cells named for stars are finally getting their time to shine. Three distinct studies, published May 15 in Science, show that astrocytes, once thought of as support cells, powerfully shape how ...

Aging, neurological diseases and our bodies' stress response are all linked to the tiny power plants inside each cell known ...

Using a new artificial intelligence method, researchers at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons can accurately predict the activity of genes within any human cell, ...

Zebrafish can regenerate sensory hair cells that humans permanently lose, like those in the inner ear linked to hearing and balance. New research reveals two specific genes that control how different ...

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

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 ...

As cats grow older, some begin to show strange new behaviors. They may start meowing more often, seem confused, or struggle ...

Entamoeba histolytica is a single-cell parasite that causes intestinal disease, but sometimes invades the body, attacking cells and creating liquefying abscesses. UC Davis parasitologist Katherine ...

Researchers have provided new insights into how exercise helps lose weight. They discovered a mechanism by which the compound ...
