Scientists have uncovered a hidden "sugar code" on the surface of human cells that could transform how diseases are detected.

Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have discovered that cancer cells do not simply push through ...

Gene expression reveals that different types of human cell can work as a unit. These cellular modules, found in several tissues, change during disease. However, suitable computational methods are ...

For the first time, scientists can view RNA molecules directly inside cells and tissue in minute detail and across the entire human genome concurrently, thanks to new technology created by a Yale ...

A massive single-cell study has revealed hidden genetic differences in male and female immune systems that may shape disease ...

These images use color markers—blue for nuclei, red for cell membranes, and green for fluid—to show that spaces between cells shrink as fluid moves out during tissue compression, from left to right ...

Chronic lung diseases, such as COPD, pulmonary fibrosis and BPD, impose heavy global health burdens with high morbidity and mortality. Recent studies have ...

Mini models of the uterus lining give insight into mystery of how it is shed without scarring ...

In developing hearts, cells shuffle around, bumping into each other to find their place, and the stakes are high: pairing with the wrong cell could mean the difference between a beating heart and one ...

Tissue processing advance can label proteins at the level of individual cells across whole, intact rodent brains and other large samples just as fast and uniformly as in dissociated single cells. A ...

Immune responses rely on the efficient movement of immune cells within the complex and geometrically unpredictable three-dimensional tissues that make up our bodies. Recent research by the Sixt group ...
