It has been claimed that because most of our DNA is active, it must be important, but now human-plant hybrid cells have been ...

Established in 2016, the Human Cell Atlas (HCA) consortium set out to create a comprehensive biological map of cells within the human body. Now progressing into a data integration phase, the HCA is ...

A new study shows, for the first time, how the human genome folds and moves in 3D over time to control when genes turn on and ...

One of the most detailed 3D maps of how the human chromosomes are organized and folded within a cell's nucleus is published ...

The most complex engineering of human cell lines ever has been achieved by scientists, revealing that our genomes are more resilient to significant structural changes than was previously thought. The ...

This article explores how single-cell multiomics and spatial transcriptomics are illuminating early pregnancy, uncovering ...

Eight years on from the formation of the Human Cell Atlas (HCA) consortium, which set out with the hugely ambitious task of mapping the entire human body – around 37.2 trillion cells – scientists ...

The study shows that fat tissue, when processed and cultured in a specific way, can self-organize into structures resembling ...

Scientists have unveiled the first draft of the Human Cell Atlas, a project aiming to map every cell type in the human body to enhance the understanding of health and disease. It could eventually be ...

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 ...

The human brain is a fascinating and complex organ that supports numerous sophisticated behaviors and abilities that are ...
