The human body has always been crowded with microscopic passengers, from bacteria to viruses and fungi. Over the past two ...

Scientists discover how aging alters the function of cells, called mesenchymal drift, and manage to reverse this process.

Researchers recently developed a bone marrow model to study how the body generates cells. Interestingly, this model is the first of its kind to be developed entirely from human cells. Not only can ...

When you were first conceived, you were a single cell. From this basic fact, we can extrapolate a few things, most especially that all the cells that make up your body today came (indirectly) from ...

When a rhinovirus, the most frequent cause of the common cold, infects the lining of our nasal passages, our cells work ...

There are hundreds of cell types in the human body, each with a specific role spelled out in their DNA. In theory, all it ...

Researchers are learning how to refill the energy reserves of aging human cells, turning a long-standing metaphor about “cellular batteries” into a literal engineering challenge. By training healthy ...

Biomedical researchers at Texas A&M University may have discovered a way to stop or even reverse the decline of cellular energy production—a finding that could have revolutionary effects across ...

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 ...

Millions of people live with atrial fibrillation, a racing, uneven heartbeat that can leave you exhausted and scared. Yet it ...
