In vertebrates, the skeleton of different regions of the body arises from different precursor cells. Researchers have now discovered that these skeletal cells do not just differ in their developmental ...

A new study suggests that never-seen-before stem cells in the human retina can restore vision in mice with a common eye ...

Scientists say they want to starting growing human bodies, or "bodyoids," to "reduce animal testing, improve drug development ...

Among the many marvels of life is the cell’s ability to divide and thus enable organisms to grow and renew themselves.

Hundreds of cubes of human brain tissue help scientists to chart the energy-making capabilities of various brain regions.

A study focusing on analyzing cell models found universality in their movement—an important discovery that could impact both ...

It may be disturbing to characterize human bodies in such commodifying terms, but the unavoidable reality is that human ...

Concepts encoded by concept neurons can be an animal, an article of clothing, a place, or a person. The concept can be evoked ...

Scientists have long tried to understand the human brain by comparing it to other primates. Researchers are still trying to ...

A growing body of work suggests that cell metabolism — the chemical reactions that provide energy and building materials — ...

Researchers have found that some cells form new multicellular structures with functions that defy their original biological ...

Scientists have found a way to study early embryonic development without real embryos. Using CRISPR, they programmed stem cells to self-organize into structures mimicking early embryos. The cells show ...
