Human cells are extremely small and tightly packed – at about 20 micrometers across, roughly one-fifth the width of a human hair, each cell contains a dense mix of proteins, organelles, and molecular ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich have created elastic and stable ear cartilage from human cells grown in a laboratory.

We’ve come a long way from the Vacanti mouse. Back in the mid-90s, Charles Vacanti and other researchers experimented with cartilage regeneration and, with the help of a biodegradable mold and bovine ...

New work from UC Davis and the University of Utah shows how the 3D structure of DNA inside a germ cell commits it to develop into a sperm cell. The discovery could improve understanding of fertility ...

In a major leap forward for genetic and biomedical research, two scientists at the University of Missouri have developed a powerful new artificial intelligence tool that can predict the 3D shape of ...

A new organelle has been discovered in human cells — and scientists call it a "hemifusome." Like the full-size organs in our bodies, the organelles within cells are specialized structures that carry ...

Before cells can divide by mitosis, they first need to replicate all of their chromosomes, so that each of the daughter cells can receive a full set of genetic material. Scientists have until now ...

An illustration of multicolored tangle of threads within a small black sphere. A 3D illustration shows DNA packaged into the nucleus, scientists with the 4D Nucleome project are now building accurate ...

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 ...

A team led by Professor Inkyung Jung from the Department of Biological Sciences at KAIST, working with Professor Yarui Diao’s group, has published a new single-cell method called scHiCAR that ...
