For the past seven years, researchers around the world have been carefully mapping all the types, genes and proteins of every cell in the human body. Called the Human Cell Atlas, the project aims to ...

The human body is made up of a complex community of trillions of cells of diverse shapes and sizes, all working together to keep you alive. The smallest of these cells, like platelets and red blood ...

Combining single-cell data with maps of tissue structure can be slow and tedious. In addition, machine learning algorithms may be limited by the data used to train them. To overcome these challenges, ...

Scientists have created a set of real -- and really tiny -- human organs on a chip, both genetically and physically linked like the human body. Columbia Engineering / SWNS The future of life-saving ...

Scientists have discovered a new way to make a soft, stretchy plastic that can carry electricity efficiently—an advance that could help improve devices implanted in the human body, such as pacemakers, ...

Animal testing could slowly be replaced with experiments using artificial tissue thanks to groundbreaking work using lasers done by the Vienna Technical University (TU Wien) in Austria. The idea ...

As space agencies prepare for human missions to the moon and Mars, scientists need to understand how the absence of gravity affects living cells. Now, a team of researchers has built a rugged, ...
