Spiders are among Earth's most resourceful predators, nabbing prey by any means necessary. Orb weavers spin webs for capture.

Researchers recently developed a bone marrow model to study how the body generates cells. Interestingly, this model is the first of its kind to be developed entirely from human cells. Not only can ...

In a demonstration that could help pave the way for gene therapies with fewer side effects, several human cell types have ...

A human cell is a Rube Goldberg machine like no other, full of biological chain reactions that make the difference between life and death. Understanding these delicate relationships and how they go ...

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 ...

A human female is born with all the egg cells she will ever have. The possibility for the development of new oocytes is zero. Given this constraint, it is crucial that these gametes remain healthy and ...

Our body's "blood factory" consists of specialized tissue made up of bone cells, blood vessels, nerves and other cell types. Now, researchers have succeeded for the first time in recreating this ...

Researchers at Umeå University show how tick-borne viruses remodel human cells into virus factories, using an advanced ...

In a new study published in Nature Communications titled, “The reference genome of the human diploid cell line RPE-1,” researchers from University of Rome La Sapienza have produced the first reference ...

Typically, bone marrow research relies heavily on animal models and oversimplified cell cultures in the laboratory. Now, researchers from the Department of Biomedicine at the University of Basel and ...
