There are hundreds of cell types in the human body, each with a specific role spelled out in their DNA. In theory, all it ...

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 ...

When you were first conceived, you were a single cell. From this basic fact, we can extrapolate a few things, most especially that all the cells that make up your body today came (indirectly) from ...

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 ...

Researchers recently developed a bone marrow model to study how the body generates cells. Interestingly, this model is the first of its kind to be developed entirely from human cells. Not only can ...

Using laboratory-evolved versions of CRISPR-associated transposases (CASTs) from bacteria, scientists at the Broad Institute and Columbia University were able to insert healthy genes into human cells ...
