Even after decades of research, biologists are still uncovering surprises about the human body. A team of researchers from the University of Virginia and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) have ...

Scientists have now created an encyclopedia of gene function for all known human genes that code for protein. This data uses the most current and reliable data, and it has also been released on a ...

Vaults are mysterious cellular structures that can be genetically engineered to store information about a cell’s history.

Scientists have attempted to map the human cell since the first microscope was invented more than 400 years ago. But many components of the cell still remain uncharted. "We know each of the proteins ...

Scientists have uncovered a direct molecular mechanism by which gut bacteria inject proteins into human cells, reshaping immune responses and potentially driving inflammatory disease. Scientists have ...

Researchers recently developed a bone marrow model to study how the body generates cells. Interestingly, this model is the first of its kind to be developed entirely from human cells. Not only can ...

"The infection of our body cells is like a dance between virus and cell," suggested Yohei Yamauchi at ETH Zurich. With their new system, the team watched how single flu virus particles move across the ...

A new predictive AI system has been developed to predict gene activity in human cells with high precision. Researchers at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons, led by Raul ...

How much of our genome really matters? Some argue that because most of our DNA is active, it must be doing something important. Others say even random DNA would be highly active. This has now been put ...
