Researchers at the University of Münster and Ruhr University Bochum have demonstrated for the first time in real time that the body's own defense cells use catecholamines—neurotransmitters such as ...

The human-made cells show many hallmarks of life, but they can't make all their necessary internal structures or divide for ...

Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered that one of the body's most fundamental biological processes—how red blood ...

ANCHOR, a 3D human brainstem atlas, combines MRI and microscopy imaging to help researchers study neurodegenerative diseases ...

UC Davis researchers have received a nearly $4 million grant NIEH to develop the world’s first standardized method for measuring and describing the neurotoxicity of airborne nanoplastics.

Males of the species Drosophila melanogaster pack thousands of almost two-millimeter-long sperm cells into significantly smaller storage organs. A new study reveals how they move in an orderly manner ...

Engineers have developed a new way to monitor how tiny lab-grown human heart tissues beat—by effectively "listening" to the ...

Let’s begin with microbes A microbe is a very small, living organism that’s usually visible only under a microscope. Its name ...

The gene that creates the human body has been identified. In a breakthrough that could help explain why so many pregnancies fail, scientists at the University of Cambridge showed ...

We have identified the gene that, when activated, initiates the developmental programme that results in cells forming a human ...

Fruit flies’ giant cells rely on collective motion, pushing against each other to prevent their flagella from tangling ...

A laser (purple) is powerfully amplified by highly polished mirrors and focused on the electron beam (blue) to shift its phase and increase the cryo-EM microscope’s contrast, allowing biologists to ...
