Zebrafish can regenerate sensory hair cells that humans permanently lose, like those in the inner ear linked to hearing and balance. New research reveals two specific genes that control how different ...

In two new studies, scientists at Oregon Health & Science University have uncovered detailed blueprints of how certain molecular "gates" in human cells work—findings that could open doors to new ...

One of the most well-studied cellular responses is how they react during times of stress, such as when the temperature gets ...

If you've heard deep bass, the roar of a jet engine, or rumbling thunder, you may have felt it in your body. Our cells have a variety of ways to sense mechanical forces, including those that can be ...

A generative AI system can now analyze blood cells with greater accuracy and confidence than human experts, detecting subtle signs of diseases like leukemia. It not only spots rare abnormalities but ...

When you were first conceived, you were a single cell. From this basic fact, we can extrapolate a few things, most especially that all the cells that make up your body today came (indirectly) from ...

You might feel the same every day, but biologically, you never are. Beneath the surface, your body is constantly rebuilding ...

A human cell is a Rube Goldberg machine like no other, full of biological chain reactions that make the difference between life and death. Understanding these delicate relationships and how they go ...

Creating human eggs from adult cells just got one step closer to reality. A technique used in cloning combined with fertilization and a bit of chemical coaxing caused human skin cells to produce eggs ...

Mice have remained the focal point for life sciences research for the past several decades. Their universality in biomedicine ...
