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 ...

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

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

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 ...

A comprehensive encyclopedia of the known functions of all protein-coding human genes has just been completed and released. Researchers used large-scale evolutionary modeling to integrate data on ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute and AlveoliX have developed the first human 'lung-on-chip' model using stem cells taken from only one person. These chips simulate breathing motions and lung ...

Scientists have used human skin cells to create fertilizable eggs capable of producing early embryos, an advance that could expand possibilities for fertility treatment, according to new research. 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, ...
