Over the past decades, large-scale human genetic studies have identified numerous risk genes and variants associated with complex diseases and traits.

Scientists at ETH Zurich have broken new ground by generating over 400 types of nerve cells from stem cells in the lab, far surpassing previous efforts that produced only a few dozen. By ...

A new AI tool, AAnet, has discovered five distinct cell types within tumors, offering a deeper look into cancer's inner diversity. This insight could transform how we treat cancer, enabling more ...

The study shows that a long non-coding RNA called CISTR-ACT acts as a master regulator of cell size, influencing how large or small cells grow across multiple tissues.

One of the biggest quests in biology is understanding how every cell in an animal's body carries an identical genome yet ...

Cadmium (Cd) accumulation in crops poses a serious risk to human health, particularly through contaminated food chains. In water spinach (Ipomoea aquatica), a widely cultivated vegetable, the capacity ...

A new 3D human brain tissue platform developed by MIT researchers is the first to integrate all major brain cell types, including neurons, glial cells and the vasculature into a single culture. Grown ...

Human health may be getting a big boost from the bits and bytes of computer science. In particular, artificial intelligence (AI) machine learning models are helping to unravel the mysteries of the ...

A growing body of work suggests that cell metabolism — the chemical reactions that provide energy and building materials — plays a vital, overlooked role in the first steps of life. Each of us starts ...
