A new map of the "maternal-fetal interface" reveals a new type of cell, as well as the types of cells most likely to be ...

Gene expression reveals that different types of human cell can work as a unit. These cellular modules, found in several tissues, change during disease. However, suitable computational methods are ...

The relationship between some of the major human cell types analyzed in the publication by Karlsson et al (2021). Credit: Human Protein Atlas The relationship between some of the major human cell ...

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and collaborating institutions took a closer look at how the gastrointestinal ...

Millions of neurons branch throughout our bodies, keeping them in close communication with our brains. This peripheral ...

This important study advances a new computational approach to measure and visualize gene expression specificity across different tissues and cell types. The framework is potentially helpful for ...

Epithelial tissues are in constant interaction with their environment. Maintaining their functionality requires dynamic balance (homeostasis) and that their cell numbers are tightly regulated. This is ...

Genes aren't the sole driver instructing cells to build multicellular structures, tissues, and organs. In a new paper published in Nature Communications, USC Stem Cell scientist Leonardo Morsut and ...

Researchers have discovered a previously unknown type of connective tissue cells that surround cancer cells in pancreatic tumors. The newly discovered cells counteract tumor development and may ...

Aging does not arrive all at once. It builds quietly across years, touching cells long before symptoms appear.
