Every tissue in the body is a work in progress. Cells divide, mature, migrate, and change identity in response to signals ...

A protein that sticks cells and tissues together has been found to have a surprising second job: helping cells that are packed into a continuous sealed layer, also known as epithelial cells, engulf ...

Water makes up around 60% of the human body. More than half of this water sloshes around inside the cells that make up organs and tissues. Much of the remaining water flows in the nooks and crannies ...

Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute, King's College London and Complutense University of Madrid have shown that γδ T ...

Death ends the body’s ability to function as a whole, but it does not kill every cell at the same instant. Research has shown that some human cells remain viable for hours or even days after death, ...

Spatial transcriptomics (ST) shows which genes are being expressed and where within a tissue. Spatial metabolomics (SM), on ...

Scientists discovered a population of cells that can start the process of programmed cell death, survive it, and then help rapidly rebuild damaged tissue. Their descendants become far more resistant ...

A protein known as p53 is, of all tumor suppressors in human cancer, the most frequently altered by gene mutations. When ...

Modern biology has a data problem, and it is not a shortage of measurements. The latest sequencing technologies can now read out gene expression, chromatin accessibility, protein abundance and even ...
