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 ...

Gene expression reveals that different types of human cell can work as a unit. These cellular modules, found in several tissues, change during disease. However, suitable computational methods are ...

When a rhinovirus, the most frequent cause of the common cold, infects the lining of our nasal passages, our cells work ...

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

Creating human eggs from adult cells just got one step closer to reality. A technique used in cloning combined with fertilization and a bit of chemical coaxing caused human skin cells to produce eggs ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers are learning how to refill the energy reserves of aging human cells, turning a long-standing metaphor about “cellular batteries” into a literal engineering challenge. By training healthy ...
