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

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 ...

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 have attempted to map the human cell since the first microscope was invented more than 400 years ago. But many components of the cell still remain uncharted. "We know each of the proteins ...

Researchers from the University of California San Diego Sanford Stem Cell Institute have discovered that spaceflight accelerates the aging of human hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs), ...
