Every human cell is surrounded by a sugar coating known as the glycocalyx. It not only interacts with its environment but also reveals a great deal about cells' internal states. Scientists at the Max ...

Researchers build anthrobots from human airway cells that self-assemble, move, self-heal, and reverse aging markers, offering insights into synthetic life systems. (Nanowerk Spotlight) What kinds of ...

A largely overlooked structure inside our cells may play a crucial role in how the brain forms, offering new insight into ...

Scientists are exploring ways to mimic the origins of human life without two fundamental components: sperm and egg. They are coaxing clusters of stem cells – programmable cells that can transform into ...

The most complex engineering of human cell lines ever has been achieved by scientists, revealing that our genomes are more resilient to significant structural changes than was previously thought. The ...

Male and female reproductive systems allow human reproduction. Fertilisation occurs when a sperm and egg join to form an embryo. An embryo develops into an unborn baby in the uterus during pregnancy.

Typically, bone marrow research relies heavily on animal models and oversimplified cell cultures in the laboratory. Now, researchers from the Department of Biomedicine at the University of Basel and ...

For the roughly 3 million Americans living with inflammatory bowel disease, the current treatment options tell a frustrating ...
