Within multicellular organisms, tissues are organized communities of cells that work together to carry out a specific function. The exact role of a tissue in an organism depends on what types of cells ...

The scope of human cell type atlases widened considerably today. Formerly, landscapes of individual cell types were largely confined to single organs. But now, thanks to four single-cell RNA ...

Bioengineers have created miniature intestines in a dish that match up anatomically and functionally to the real thing better than any other lab-grown tissue models. The biological complexity and ...

Investigators have created computer-generated models to bridge the gap between 'test tube' data about neurons and the function of those cells in the living brain. Their study could help in the ...

Cardiac muscle tissue is only found in your heart. It performs involuntary, coordinated contractions that allow your heart to pump blood through your circulatory system. Cardiac muscle tissue is one ...
