Never-before-seen 3D reconstructions of human liver tissue have been created at a cellular level. The details obtained by a team of UW Medicine and University of Washington engineers and physicians ...

A recent study by the University of Bonn and University Hospital Bonn and the University of Freiburg shows that the mitochondria appear to be able to influence the number of lipid droplets in the cell ...

Scientists have identified how specific genetic changes function in cells to influence disease risk and other human health ...

The human body is a dynamic place. Blood pumps, spinal fluid flows, oxygen comes in and carbon dioxide goes out. Deeper still, charged molecules pass through cell walls, quietly keeping the body's ...

Human DNA constantly refolds in 3D space, and these looping dynamics regulate gene expression and cell identity.

UCLA researchers use lipid nanoparticles to insert full CFTR gene into airway cells, restoring function and opening new ...

Rapidly testing hundreds of thousands of DNA sequences, scientists identified specific genetic variations contributing to blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar.

Some of the earliest roots of the human eye appear to lie in a small marine animal that lived nearly 600 million years ago. Researchers at Lund Univer.

Key takeawaysWhile the immune system tries to fight cancerous tumors, the tumor cells deplete the key nutrient glucose from their environment, leaving ...

While neurogenesis—the growth of new brain cells—typically slows with age, superagers produce new neurons in the hippocampus at twice the rate of healthy older adults. In contrast, individuals with ...

The Johns Hopkins-created maps provide higher resolution and better coverage of gray matter than previously published maps, ...

For decades, scientists viewed the genome of a newly fertilized egg as a structural "blank slate"—a disordered tangle of DNA waiting for the embryo to wake up and start reading its own genetic ...
