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 ...

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

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 ...

A new type of cell that’s seen only during pregnancy was recently discovered after scientists charted a map of the placenta ...

Studying the process of brain formation illuminates just how much of development is a series of tiny miracles. Only a few weeks after a human egg is fertilized, a sheet of cells called the neural ...

Using single-cell sequencing and spatial tools, researchers have created the most comprehensive map of the maternal–fetal interface yet.

Scientists have created a super-map of the brain containing 30 million cells to trace the prenatal origins of diseases.

One of the ultimate goals of biological research is to understand the multiscale organization of the human cell and its relationship to biological function and human disease. As much of cell structure ...

Like workers at a factory or office, proteins in a cell must be in the right department to do their jobs. But scientists have yet to fully map the cell’s organization, much less determine how these ...

Scientists have developed a detailed map of the breast tissue which shows that as woman age, cells decline and multiply less, ...
