The discovery of 'cellular self-organisation' in dental development may inform future developments in tooth regrowth, ...

Teeth naturally wear down over time, but scientists have found that they could signal certain cells to regrow bones, opening new avenues in stem cell research.

In many cells of the human body, hair-like protrusions known as cilia act as antennae, allowing cells to receive signals from ...

A new study published in Nature Biotechnology shows that stem cell differentiation is linked to cellular structures called ...

A new method of taking microscopic images of a live mouse's retina through the eye allows researchers to record the reaction of brain cells to disease and treatment. The Kobe University development is ...

Scientists identified two types of brain cells, neurons and microglia, that are altered in people with depression. Through genomic mapping of post-mortem brain tissue, they found major differences in ...

Researchers have refined a powerful DNA sequencing tool that can uncover hidden mutations that occur naturally in our bodies as we age. In the largest study to date, they have used the tool to provide ...

A human cell is a Rube Goldberg machine like no other, full of biological chain reactions that make the difference between life and death. Understanding these delicate relationships and how they go ...

A technique that uses a simple cheek swab to pick up gene mutations in healthy tissue could become a “useful tool for cancer prevention”, according to researchers. Experts are hopeful that mapping ...

A new tool developed by Weill Cornell Medicine and the University of Adelaide investigators has enhanced the ability to track multiple gene mutations while simultaneously recording gene activity in ...
