In biology textbooks and beyond, the human genome and DNA therein typically are taught in only one dimension. While it can be ...

Mapping a human cell gives researchers a view of subcellular architecture and sheds light on how cancer develops.

Discover how Entamoeba histolytica evades the immune system by stealing human proteins, offering new insights for potential treatments.

New research claims that 5G is completely safe for the human body, despite previous research and conspiracy theories claiming otherwise.

The single-celled parasite Entamoeba histolytica infects 50 million people each year, killing nearly 70,000. Usually, this wily, shape-shifting amoeba causes nothing worse than diarrhea. But sometimes ...

The DNA of human cells consists of a sequence of about 3.1 billion building blocks. Cells go to great lengths to maintain the integrity of this vast store of information. They constantly untangle ...

A newly discovered bat coronavirus uses the same cell-surface protein to gain entry into human cells as the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19, raising the possibility that it could someday ...

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 unveiled on Wednesday the first blueprint of human skeletal development as they make progress toward the goal of completing a biological atlas of every ...

In a collection of research articles and related content, the Human Cell Atlas consortium presents tools, data and ideas towards the generation of their first draft atlas of cells in the human body.

Scientists published more than three dozen papers as part of the Human Cell Atlas, an effort to map the human body cell by cell.

Its secret? The robot is a biohybrid blend of living, human-derived neurons and muscle cells controlled by a programmable electronic “brain.” The cells cover a synthetic “skeleton” with fins and form ...
