Researchers have developed mice with organs containing human cells, using a convenient and surprising approach — injecting the cells directly into the amniotic fluid of pregnant mice. The method ...

A chronological map of the fetal brain reveals when key cells emerge and provides clues about autism and cancer.

Researchers have mapped variation in human stem cells that explains how cells of an individual may shape a unique 'developmental dance' at the molecular level, thereby controlling how the brain and ...

Researchers found three master genes that alter brain development in Down syndrome, offering new clues about learning and memory differences.

Researchers with the global Human Cell Atlas (HCA) consortium report significant progress in their quest for a better understanding of the cells of the human body in health and disease, with the ...

Full view of how bones and joints form in the first trimester uncovers cells and pathways that could help diagnose and treat skeletal conditions in the future. The first 'blueprint' of human skeletal ...

Human brain cells are now interacting with computer systems, learning to play video games like Doom. Researchers have ...

Your brain begins as a single cell. When all is said and done, it will house an incredibly complex and powerful network of some 170 billion cells. How does it organize itself along the way? Cold ...

The brain is the most complicated organ in the human body. With billions of cells that create trillions of connections to allow an individual to move, think, and remember, many of its innerworkings ...

University of Chicago researchers developed an mRNA nanoparticle system that triggers cells to produce PD-L1 protein, ...
