The brains of humans and other mammals contain a vast array of neuronal and non-neuronal cell types. The human capacity to process information into complex emotions, behaviours and decisions relies on ...

Scientists have attempted to map the human cell since the first microscope was invented more than 400 years ago. But many components of the cell still remain uncharted. " We know each of the proteins ...

A new 3D human brain tissue platform developed by MIT researchers is the first to integrate all major brain cell types, including neurons, glial cells and the vasculature into a single culture. Grown ...

Our brain is arguably the organ that most distinguishes humans from other primates. Its exceptional size, complexity and capabilities far exceed those of any other species on Earth. Yet humans share ...

Researchers in Japan built a miniature human brain circuit using fused stem-cell–derived organoids, allowing them to watch the thalamus and cortex interact in real time. They found that the thalamus ...

A new 3D human brain tissue platform developed by MIT researchers is the first to integrate all major brain cell types, including neurons, glial cells and the vasculature into a single culture. Grown ...

Hormones coordinate different body functions by carrying messages through the bloodstream to target cells and tissues. Hormonal imbalances occur through inadequate or excess hormone synthesis, which ...

There are hundreds of cell types in the human body, each with a specific role spelled out in their DNA. In theory, all it ...

A research team led by Zhiping Weng, Ph.D., and Jill Moore, Ph.D."18, at UMass Chan Medical School, has nearly tripled the ...

A new predictive AI system has been developed to predict gene activity in human cells with high precision. Researchers at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons, led by Raul ...
