A research team led by Professor Simona Giunta at the University of Rome La Sapienza has produced the first reference-quality ...

“While the rest of the genome shuffles between the maternal and paternal origins, centromeres are inherited intact: one from ...

The reference-quality genome assembly of an experimentally relevant human cell line, retinal pigment epithelial line RPE-1, is completed.

Developing new medications can take years. But computational biologist Aviv Regev says AI-powered cell mapping is transforming the process—helping to create life-saving drugs in much less time. About ...

iXCells’ mission is to empower life science researchers and patient foundations to advance personalized therapies and accelerate discovery of better medicines for a healthier future. iXCells’ cell ...

Researchers build anthrobots from human airway cells that self-assemble, move, self-heal, and reverse aging markers, offering insights into synthetic life systems.

Researchers developed a new machine learning method that, given a relevant amino acid sequence, can automatically predict the location of a protein in any human cell line down to the single-cell level ...

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 ...

Spaceflight makes certain human stem cells age faster, a study finds, furthering the understanding of the possible effects of space exploration on the human body.

A human female is born with all the egg cells she will ever have. The possibility for the development of new oocytes is zero. Given this constraint, it is crucial that these gametes remain healthy and ...
