Human cells are extremely small and tightly packed – at about 20 micrometers across, ...

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 ...

One of the most detailed 3D maps of how the human chromosomes are organized and folded within a cell's nucleus is published in Nature. Chromosomes are thread-like structures that carry a cell's ...

Scientists have uncovered a direct molecular mechanism by which gut bacteria inject proteins into human cells, reshaping immune responses and potentially driving inflammatory disease. Scientists have ...

RAB7A plays a central role in the final stages of autophagy, facilitating autophagosome-lysosome fusion, lysosome positioning, and cargo degradation. Its activation by guanine nucleotide exchange ...

Researchers recently developed a bone marrow model to study how the body generates cells. Interestingly, this model is the first of its kind to be developed entirely from human cells. Not only can ...

For the first time, clumps of human cells called organoids were fully integrated with the brains of rats—and influenced their ...

Assessing the toxicity of food contaminants—including carcinogenic potential—is a major challenge in evaluating the risks ...

Biohybrid robots work by combining biological components like muscles, plant material, and even fungi with non-biological materials. While we are pretty good at making the non-biological parts work, ...
