Eight years on from the formation of the Human Cell Atlas (HCA) consortium, which set out with the hugely ambitious task of mapping the entire human body – around 37.2 trillion cells – scientists ...

“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.

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

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

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 ...
