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

Stem cells age faster and become functionally exhausted in low Earth orbit, making crewed long-duration space travel even ...

Space travel accelerates the ageing of human stem cells, reveals new research. Spaceflight speeds up the ageing of cells which are “vital” to blood and immune system health, say American scientists.

Researchers have now discovered that HAR123, a regulatory gene sequence, is an important factor in human brain development. Even though humans are closely related to chimps, the slight differences in ...

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

A TED Talk-style presentation on the effects of tangled DNA strands took first place at this year's Postdoc Slam competition, which is held in celebration of National Postdoc Appreciation Week.

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 ...

Researchers discovered that certain human brain cells evolved unusually fast, altering autism-linked gene activity.

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