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 ...

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 ...

The muscular system works to control the movement of our body and internal organs. Muscle tissue contains something called muscle fibers. Muscle fibers consist of a single muscle cell. They help to ...

video: Bioengineers at EPFL 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 ...
