Spending time aboard the International Space Station (ISS) induced aging-like changes in a group of cells key for the health ...

New research has identified yet another way that spaceflight tampers with the human body. A study involving samples flown on four SpaceX resupply missions to the International Space Station has ...

The reference-quality genome assembly of an experimentally relevant human cell line, retinal pigment epithelial line RPE-1, is completed.

“While the rest of the genome shuffles between the maternal and paternal origins, centromeres are inherited intact: one from ...

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 ...

A research team led by Professor Simona Giunta at the University of Rome La Sapienza has produced the first reference-quality ...

The hippocampus is an important brain region known to support various cognitive (i.e., mental) processes, including the encoding and retrieval of memories, learning, decision-making and the regulation ...

Developing new medications can take years. But computational biologist Aviv Regev says AI-powered cell mapping is transforming the process—helping to create life-saving drugs in much less time. About ...

To celebrate the start of the school year in the US, Google featured a Doodle highlighting DNA chemistry on Sept. 10, 2025.

In human cells, there are about 20,000 genes on a two-meter DNA strand—finely coiled up in a nucleus about 10 micrometers in ...
