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 ...

New research has mapped the cell types that specialise to form reproductive organs in both sexes, identifying key genes and signals that drive this process. The findings offer important insights into ...

Researchers have created an early map of some of the human body's estimated 37.2 trillion cells. Each type of cell has a unique role, and knowing what all the cells do can help scientists better ...

Researchers from the Wellcome Sanger Institute and collaborators say they have combined spatial and single-cell data from 1.6 million cells to create the most comprehensive cell map of the human gut ...

Duke-NUS scientists unveiled BrainSTEM, a revolutionary single-cell map that captures the full cellular diversity of the developing human brain. The project’s focus on dopamine neurons provides ...

Women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) find it harder to get pregnant, have more frequent miscarriages and have a higher risk of developing endometrial cancer. Now, in a new study published in ...

Maintaining cellular order is a major logistical challenge: Individual mammalian cells contain billions of protein molecules, ...

Millions of people worldwide suffer from gum disease, yet we still don't fully understand how healthy gums turn into damaged, ...

A new study published in Nature offers the most detailed map to date of how individual cell types in the brain change with age. Scientists analyzed over 1.2 million brain cells from young and aged ...

A map of the immune cell landscape found in the bone marrow of patients with multiple myeloma could shed light on how the immune system interacts with cancerous plasma cells. It could also help ...
