Every person walking the planet carries roughly 37 trillion cells, and nearly every one of those cells holds an identical ...

A research consortium has established a new framework to identify and catalog senescent cells—cells that stop dividing but remain active in the body. Because senescent cells accumulate with age and ...

Scientists at ETH Zurich have broken new ground by generating over 400 types of nerve cells from stem cells in the lab, far surpassing previous efforts that produced only a few dozen. By ...

Collagen, the protein that builds skin, bones, tendons and organs, exists inside cells as a liquidlike droplet rather than ...

A new study published in Nature Communications shows that human glial progenitor cells are a promising and safe cell product ...

Scientists are exploring ways to mimic the origins of human life without two fundamental components: sperm and egg. They are coaxing clusters of stem cells – programmable cells that can transform into ...

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 ...

DNA can voyage along intercellular highways called tunneling nanotubes. It’s a phenomenon that could potentially spread tumor DNA to healthy cells.

The Chinese Academy of Sciences has announced an amazing and potentially controversial new project to test the development of ...
