Scientists found that embryonic skin cells “whisper” through faint mechanical tugs, using the same force-sensing proteins ...

Cells, including those in the human body, might have the ability to "learn," a capability once thought to be exclusive to ...

Nerve cells are not just nerve cells. Depending on how finely we distinguish, there are several hundred to several thousand ...

New estimates for the number of cells in adults and children draw on over 1500 scientific papers detailing the different cell and tissue types in our bodies ...

Cells are the building blocks that form all the tissues and organs of the body — and now, scientists have an estimate of just how many individual cells the human body contains.

An ambitious project launched in 2016 has made a dent in one of biology’s greatest challenges — with more than 3,600 researchers profiling more than 100 million cells.

Their in-depth analysis revealed that different cell types in the body age differently, each cell type following a process involving cell type-specific patterns.

The human body has 37 trillion cells. If we can work out what they all do, the results could revolutionise our healthcare.

Scientists Map Out the Human Body One Cell at a Time 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 ...

Publishing in Cell Metabolism, researchers identified 10 different type of fat cells with the help of single-cell RNA sequencing. 2 One of these, a newly-discovered beige fat cell, uses an unusual ...
