New research has mapped the cell types that specialize to form reproductive organs in both sexes, identifying key genes and ...

A team of researchers has generated one of the most detailed 3D maps of human chromosomes, cataloging over 140,000 DNA looping interactions.

The most complex engineering of human cell lines ever has been achieved by scientists, revealing that our genomes are more resilient to significant structural changes than was previously thought. The ...

Scientists at UT Southwestern in Dallas say they have finally nailed down the human protein that makes cells literally burst ...

A growing number of new studies have found that, at least for some cells, death isn’t the end, but the beginning of something wholly unexpected.

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 ...

In a collection of research articles and related content, the Human Cell Atlas consortium presents tools, data and ideas towards the generation of their first draft atlas of cells in the human body.
