Studying human evolution involves piecing together scattered clues about how we survived against tough odds. One of the ...

To investigate the archaic ancestry of the living human population, Akey and Vernot set to work searching for Neanderthal DNA in modern genomes. They developed a statistical approach to identify ...

In the short term, these multi-zonal liver organoids will help scientists shed new light on diseases including diabetes, drug-induced liver injury, alcohol-related liver disease, and viral hepatitis.

A team of over 150 scientists has achieved what once seemed impossible: a complete wiring and activity map of a tiny section ...

The vagina is a flexible tube that joins the uterus to the vulva. Vaginas are usually around 3 inches long but may vary widely in color, size, and shape. The vaginal opening is the part of the ...

The human digestive system refers to the organs that take in food and break them down. Digestion describes the complex process that enables the nutrients in food to enter the body and its cells.

WASHINGTON — Thanks to a mouse watching clips from “The Matrix,” scientists have created the largest functional map of a brain to date – a diagram of the wiring ... each far thinner than a human hair.

The microbes in the human gut perform many important roles, and there are many beneficial, helpful microorganisms in the human gut microbiome. That microbiome is also directly connected to the brain ...

Two of the goals of that program are to generate a detailed wiring diagram for the complete mouse brain, and to map long-distance connections between different areas of the human brain.

The wiring diagram and its data, freely available through the MICrONS Explorer, are 1.6 petabytes in size (equivalent to 22 years of non-stop HD video), and offer never-before-seen insight into ...
