A live-cell imaging tool allowed researchers to follow influenza A virus through its life cycle in airway organoids, showing ...

For the first time, scientists have been able to watch the flu virus live as it infects human airway cells. They developed a ...

As space agencies prepare for human missions to the Moon and Mars, scientists need to understand how the absence of gravity affects living cells. Now, a team of researchers has built a rugged, ...

Machine learning is helping neuroscientists organize vast quantities of cells’ genetic data in the latest neurobiological cartography effort.

Proteins are the molecular machines of cells. They are produced in protein factories called ribosomes based on their blueprint—the genetic information. Here, the basic building blocks of proteins, ...

When food is scarce, stress hormones direct the immune system to operate in "low power" mode to preserve immune function ...

Engineers at Stanford University have developed a high-efficiency, battery/solar-operated, autonomous microscope with integrated artificial intelligence that automatically diagnoses malaria in blood ...

Researchers at the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences (LMS) and Imperial College London have shown for the first time that, before they can start developing into egg and sperm cells, the embryonic ...

A groundbreaking brain atlas maps nearly 680,000 cells to reveal how the human brain develops at the single-cell level. The discovery could transform Parkinson’s research by setting new standards for ...

Colorectal cancer has become the deadliest cancer for U.S. adults under 50 over the last two decades, and doctors say diet, lifestyle and gaps in preventive care are helping drive the trend.

In human cells, DNA carries chemical or "epigenetic" marks that decide how genes will be used in different tissues. Yet in a ...
