Mount Sinai researchers have published the first organ-wide human skin spatial atlas from across the body. It provides an unprecedentedly detailed view of healthy human skin, revealing cellular ...

Recent studies integrating multi-omics data with cell atlases across development for brains of humans and model organisms are revealing conserved and divergent patterns of brain development at the ...

Stem cells are precursors of a variety of different cells: They can turn into anything from blood to bone to muscle. Human blood stem cells, known as hematopoietic stem cells, are the forerunners of ...

Every pregnancy depends on an organ that most people will never see. As organs go, the placenta — the tissue that surrounds a developing fetus — is a jack of all trades. It can filter toxins like a ...

Millions of neurons branch throughout our bodies, keeping them in close communication with our brains. This peripheral network begins to take shape long before birth, as the cells of a growing embryo ...

In an age when artificial intelligence may surpass us in many endeavors, fetal development strikes me as an irreplaceable ...

Single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) has spent the past decade maturing into a foundational technology. Over that time, the technology has both laid the foundation for building cell atlases and allowed ...

Scientists are exploring ways to mimic the origins of human life without two fundamental components: sperm and egg. They are coaxing clusters of stem cells – programmable cells that can transform into ...

In a study published in Cell Reports, biomedical scientist Xuecai Ge at the University of California, Riverside and her team ...

Developing neocortex in Down syndrome. IT neurons are labeled in magenta and deep-layer neurons in green. IT and double-positive neurons are increased in DS at this stage [de la Torre-Ubieta Lab] A ...

Creating human eggs from adult cells just got one step closer to reality. A technique used in cloning combined with fertilization and a bit of chemical coaxing caused human skin cells to produce eggs ...
