New study reveals how flu virus hijacks human cells to multiply ...

Every cell in the human body carries the same 3 billion letters of DNA, yet a neuron, a heart muscle cell and a pancreatic beta cell each use that shared code to do entirely different jobs. How cells ...

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 ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. A new study maps aging across millions of cells, revealing coordinated changes, immune shifts, and key targets for slowing aging. ...

Studying the process of brain formation illuminates just how much of development is a series of tiny miracles. Only a few weeks after a human egg is fertilized, a sheet of cells called the neural ...

Scientists uncovered how influenza A commandeers human cells, including a surprising strategy that dissolves tiny structures in the nucleus and releases proteins the virus may use to reproduce. The ...

Touch—the first sense to develop in the womb—is fundamental to our bodily experience and our everyday lives. Yet, as the least studied of the five senses, it remains somewhat mysterious at the ...

A team led by bioengineers at the University of California San Diego has developed a genome-scale reference map that details how individual genes control the functions and identities of human stem ...
