Every human cell is surrounded by a sugar coating known as the glycocalyx. It not only interacts with its environment but also reveals a great deal about cells' internal states. Scientists at the Max ...

For the roughly 3 million Americans living with inflammatory bowel disease, the current treatment options tell a frustrating ...

Researchers at LMU have developed a human cell model that replicates key mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases—with potential for novel therapies. The paper is published in the journal Science ...

AI could "give the scientific community a way to address the most difficult and urgent questions in human health," argues Priscilla Chan.

Researchers have developed a computer model to help scientists identify tumor-fighting immune cells in patients with lung cancer treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors. Researchers at the Johns ...

Research and drug discovery are undergoing a transformation, driven by the rise of 3D cell culture models that better replicate human biology. Unlike traditional 2D cultures and animal models, which ...

Scientists are exploring ways to mimic the origins of human life without two fundamental components: sperm and egg. They are coaxing clusters of stem cells – programmable cells that can transform into ...

The human cell is a miserable thing to study. Tens of trillions of them exist in the body, forming an enormous and intricate network that governs every disease and metabolic process. Each cell in that ...
