An international research team has deciphered a mechanism of the evolutionary arms race in human cells. The findings provide ...

A new organelle has been discovered in human cells — and scientists call it a "hemifusome."Like the full-size organs in our ...

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.

In contrast, peptide hormones cannot enter cells and only bind to cell surface receptors. 11 The interaction between these hormones and their cell surface receptors may directly activate intracellular ...

They call it the Human Cell Atlas. The consortium had its inaugural planning meeting in October 2016 and continues to organize. The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative is onboard as well.

Transcriptional profiling of cell division and DNA damage. We set out to identify cell-cycle–regulated transcripts in human cells on a genome-wide scale using high-density oligonucleotide arrays.

Microbiomes in older mice pumped out damaging metabolites that drove endothelial cell senescence, offering potential targets ...

Researchers have developed synthetic T lymphocytes, or T cells, that are near-perfect facsimiles of human T cells. Their artificial cell could be a key step toward more effective drugs to treat ...

The human cytokines support the development and function of monocytes, macrophages and NK cells derived from human fetal liver or adult CD34+ progenitor cells injected into the mice.

Glial cells are an integral part of the human nervous system. They help support and nourish nerve cells, or neurons. Several types of glial cells exist. Glial cells are the “glue” of the ...
