To better understand what might be happening inside fat tissues, Yeger-Lotem and her colleagues charted a "cell atlas" of adipocytes as part of the Human Cell Atlas, a global project that aims to map ...

"We wanted to create an organoid that includes all the cell types found in a real pancreas ... three-dimensional organoid that imitates the human pancreas in its fetal stage.

The panel recommended ethical guidelines for all future federally funded ... theoretically be "nudged" into becoming any cell type found in the human body. These are the cells that Thomson used ...

A recent Trump executive order defines sex based on gamete size. But the order oversimplifies genetics, hormones and reproductive biology.

The exact role of a tissue in an organism depends on what types of cells it contains. For example, the endothelial tissue that lines the human gastrointestinal tract consists of several cell types.

Stem cells are often featured in the media because of their great medical potential. In theory, it’s possible to produce all types of human cells from pluripotent stem cells in the laboratory. During ...

Embryonic stem cells are only found in embryos. They can differentiate into all the cell types that make a human. Adult stem cells are found in children and adults. They can only differentiate ...

Scientists are using artificial intelligence to better capture how healthy cells surrounding tumors influence cancer cell behavior and how those interactions can inform treatments.

Cell-to-cell communication is essential throughout all forms and stages of life ... However, very few reports on this type of mRNA movement have been made, and the biological significance of ...

However, most remaining cell types in the human body have mitochondria, adequate oxygen supply, and access to all three fuel molecules. Which fuel, then, is preferentially used by each of these cells?
