Scientists can peer into cells to get a limited view of their activity using microscopes and other tools. However, cells and ...

Most cells in the human body exist in complex three-dimensional environments, yet they are still commonly studied on flat plastic dishes. These two-dimensional cultures distort cell behavior, limiting ...

After centuries of mapping the human body in ever-finer detail, scientists are still making discoveries. Here we are, in 2025, and a previously unknown cellular structure that could be vital to our ...

The cochlea is the spiral-shaped structure within the inner ear responsible for our sense of hearing. To fully understand hearing functions and open the door to new hearing loss treatments, scientists ...

Researchers developed a microfluidic chip with 3D-printed microstructures that moves droplets precisely, captures cells efficiently, and quickly forms cell spheroids for improved lab-grown tissue ...

In experiments with mice, Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists report new evidence that precursors of myelin-producing cells—one ...

The computer vision scientist Greg Johnson is building systems that can recognize organelles on sight and show the dynamics of living cells more clearly than microscopy can. Your high school biology ...

Nucleons, which include protons and neutrons, are the composite particles that make up atomic nuclei. While these particles have been widely studied in the past, their internal structure has not yet ...

Findings from the Living Brain Project reveal how senescence processes involved in early brain development may also shape brain aging ...
